Aim:
The course will provide basic knowledge of fluid mechanics and heat transfer, which is necessary to apply formulas and relationships about flows and heat exchange in technical constructions. Another objective of the course is to create understanding of fluid mechanics and heat transfer in technical applications. After the course the student should be able to:
- describe and define fundamental concepts and relations within fluid mechanics and heat transfer, for example conservation of mass principle, Bernoulli equation, linear momentum equation, with description of drag and heat transfer through conduction, convection and radiation.
- give an account of and analyse technical applications such as flow measurement, flow in pipes, fluid machinery and heat exchange.
- analyse and calculate engineering problems of the character treated during the course.
- analyse and explain phenomena of fluid mechanics and heat transfer.
- perform laboratory work, evaluate the results and write laboratory report.
- identify obviously unreasonable results.
- contribute to a durable development in the society by applying knowledge from the course to realize technical solutions that give an efficient use of energy under consideration of among other things environmental issues both national and international.
