Abstract
Thermodynamics and fluid dynamics are closely interconnected and play in important role in many engineering problems. In this course, we explore the fundamentals required to solve practicable questions present in many of those problems. Furthermore, we convey skills to analyse, design and optimise technical systems for real world applications.
Objective
Master the basics of thermodynamics and fluid dynamics. Apply this knowledge to problems in the engineering field and calculation exercises.
Resources
Lecture Notes
Slides will used in the morning sessions and will be shared with the students.
Literature
„Principles of Engineering Thermodynamics“ by Michael J. Moran et al., 8th Edition. The key textbook for the second half of the course is “Fluid Mechanics” by Frank White, 8th Edition. This is available in the Ashesi Library.
