Exclusions
Description The aim of the module is to provide the opportunity for the students to study advanced aspects of thermal systems phenomena and to apply their CAE skills on a project that requires the integration of knowledge and skills accumulated over the whole programme of study, with substantial content of creating own engineering software.

SYLLABUS
Lectures and mini - aasignments:
a) Theory of turbulence and boundary layers,
b) 2-phase flows, sprays, evaporation,
c) 3-dimensional flows: Navier-Stokes equation, "cold" CFD, energy equation, intro to "hot" CFD Boiling and condensation, cavitation, erosion in flows

Learning Outcomes By the end of the module the student should be able to:
  • Demonstrate a wide knowledge and understanding of mathematical and scientific principles and methodology necessary to underpin advanced aspects of thermal systems.
  • Critically analyse the thermofluids design process of a non-linear momentum and heat transfer system and critically evaluate the outcomes.
  • Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of engineering principles and the ability to apply them to critically analyse advanced thermal systems.
  • Demonstrate a wide knowledge and understanding of the characteristics of advanced thermal systems.
  • Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of contexts in which engineering knowledge can be applied to advanced thermal systems.
