Subject Description | 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. Topics covered include; 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 conditions. Convection, Reynolds analogy and dimensional analysis. Free and forced convection. Radiation heat transfer. Heat exchangers and regenerators. |
