Module Aims
|
The objective of the module is to familiarise students with the fundamentals of integral and differential fluid mechanics and heat transfer as well as the principles and methods of dimensional analysis in order to enable students to model idealised problems. The thermodynamics introduction covered by MM132 will be supplemented with a presentation of the fundamentals of air conditioning modelling.

Learning Outcomes
|
After completing the module students should be fully familiar with:
7 Non dimensional numbers, similarity laws, modelling.
7 The difference between fluid and solid mechanics, the relationship between integral and differential fluid mechanics, the difference between Eulerian and Lagrangian representations
7 The derivation of the Navier-Stokes and energy equations, the meaning of each of their constituent terms
7 Classical application of the Navier-Stokes system for modelling of incompressible viscous flow problems and corresponding analytical solutions
7 Properties of moist air, the Psychrometric chart, basic psychrometric processes and their application for air conditioning purposes.
