Coordinator: Assoc. Prof. H. C. Watson
Prerequisite: 436-303 Fluid and Thermal Sciences
Contact: 26 hours of lectures, 13 hours of tutorials and laboratory work
Timetable: Second semester
Objectives:
On completion students should understand the principles of thermodynamic plant design including heat and mass transfer and combustion in single and two phase fluids, comprehend the benefits and costs (including some environmental and management implications) of refinements in plant design and/or working fluid and to appreciate the complexity of real plant performance evaluation.
