Course/Module
Tutor, Vehicle Propulsion Technologies ME4 MSC. (Postgraduate)
Fluid Mechanics 1 - MECH40002
Aims
The aims of the ME1 Fluid mechanics course is to establish a strong foundation and understanding of elementary fluid mechanics, on which subsequent courses will build on. Emphasis is on fundamentals. After extablishing the basics of the mathematical description of fluids, fluid statics and dynamics are covered, the latter employing control volume analysis. The knowledge is put to application, particularly in the last part of the course on internal flows.
ECTS units: 5
Role
Associate Course Leader
Thermodynamics 1 - MECH40003
Aims
The principal aim is to give students a basic understanding of the fundamental laws of thermodynamics and the ability to use them in solving a range of simple engineering problems. The pace of the course attempts to take account of students' lack of familiarity with the subject from pre-university studies. The aim of the lectures and tutorials is to develop analytical skills and some design appreciation, involving awareness of the interaction between thermodynamics and considerations of energy resources, materials, solid mechanics, economics, the environment etc.
