Objectives:
On completion of this subject students should:
- be able to analyse inviscid flow of an incompressible fluid for simple boundary conditions and know where the concepts are applicable in practice
- appreciate the application of Laplace's equation to a number of phenomena including fluid flow and heat conduction
- know the basic characteristics of pumps and fans and their classification and how to match these with operating systems
- have an understanding of the fundamentals of heat transfer under steady and unsteady conditions
- have a working knowledge of heat exchangers and regenerators

Basic introduction to inviscid flow with and without vorticity. Concepts of stream function and velocity potential. Basic equations of pumps and fans and their classification and characteristics; Thermal conduction in steady and unsteady condtions. Convection, Reynolds analogy and dimensional analysis. Free and forced convection. Radiation heat transfer. Heat exchangers and regenerators.
Assessment:
A two-hour examination. Tutorial tests, assignments and laboratory reports not exceeding 20 pages.
