1. Demonstrate knowledge of the underlying thermodynamic principles of fluids. (AHEP 4: F1)
2. Demonstrate an understanding of how thermodynamic and fluid flow principles are applied in common devices including pumps, compressors, heat exchangers and flow in ducts. (AHEP 4: F1)
3. Identify types of fluid flow devices and heat transfer mechanisms. (AHEP 4: F1)

An on-line examination based on multiple choice questions and answers weighted at 100% to meet Staffordshire University Learning Outcome 1 and 2 as well as AHEP 4 Learning Outcome F1

Staffordshire University Learning Outcomes:
1- Knowledge and Understanding
2- Learning

AHEPs 4 Learning Outcome:
F1- Apply knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural sciences and engineering principles to broadly defined problems

The contents of this module cover three following areas: Fluid mechanics, heat transfer, thermodynamics

Fluid mechanics:
Introduction to Fluids ( fluid definition, liquid and gas characteristics), Fluid Properties (Density, Viscosity), fluid flow types (steady vs unsteady, Laminar vs Turbulent, compressible vs incompressible, 1D vs 2D flows), Pressure definitions (Gauge vs Absolute), Pascal Laws, Forces on submerged bodies, mass and energy conservations (AKA Continuity and Bernoulli equations)

Heat Transfer:
Introduction to Heat transfer (Heat and temperature definitions), Heat transfer mechanisms (conduction, convection and radiation), specific heat and latent heat, Internal Energy and Enthalpy

Thermodynamics:
Introduction to thermodynamics (thermodynamic definition), Thermodynamic laws,
Work on or by a fluid, Reversible and Irreversible processes, Gas Laws, Entropy, Work/Heat cycles

The application of fundamentals of ThermoFluid to key devices including:
Pumps
Compressors
Heat exchangers

This module aims to provide you with the necessary skills and resources¿to support your learning in subjects such as Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Thermodynamics and the application of ThermoFluid's to devices including Pumps, Compressors and Heat Exchangers.

Learning Students will participate in online tutorials and be supported by student centred tasks to guide them through the required elements of the module and build towards the final examination. Module learning material is available in various formats to suit the learning needs of the student, including PDFs, PowerPoint presentations, videos and other learning materials.¿Use of libraries and on-line research materials are recommended.
