TEC 5220 - Theory and Practice of Thermal Fluid Systems (3)

When Offered: Fall, Odd-numbered years
This course provides an integrated development of fundamental principles of fluid mechanics and heat transfer with practical applications in renewable energy and building energy systems. Topics include radiant heat exchange, combined modes of heat transfer, computer techniques in heat transfer analysis and design, environmental heat transfer, integral and differential analysis of fluids, potential flow, boundary layer analysis, flow in closed and open channels, flow dynamics of turbomachinery, and steady and unsteady flows.
Lecture two hours, laboratory two hours.
