Course Title:

Fluid-Thermal Systems Fundamentals II

Instructor:

To Be Assigned

Course Description:

 This is an introductory course that covers the fundamentals of fluid mechanics and heat transfer for industry oriented practical problems.  Select examples of transient, non-linear, one-, two and three-dimensional problems will illustrate the theory and design principles. A set of computational examples will be given for internal and external flows with and without heat transfer.

 

Course Objectives:

At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Gain basic knowledge of fluid flow and heat transfer problems.

 

Main Topics to Be Covered:

Navier-Stokes equation - incompressible and compressible form. Heat transfer basics derived from the energy equation that will be useful for systems with and without flow. Internal and external flow systems. Multidimensional heat diffusion.

 

 

Intended Audience:

This course is intended for engineers and technical staff who have some or no knowledge of fluid mechanics ans heat transfer. It could also be a refresher course in fluid themal systems. Managers and others who need a broad overview of the field of fluid thermal applications can also benefit from the course.

Method of Delivery:

Web-based synchronous and asynchronous; also available as instructor-led classroom.
