Overview
This unit introduces the key concepts and principles required to analyse problems involving heat transfer and energy conversion. You will analyse and design heat exchangers and analyse the performance of internal combustion engines, gas turbines, and jet engines. You will analyse the combustion processes of fuels, including hydrogen, estimate pollutant emissions, and analyse and design nozzles. You will prepare professional documents that demonstrate critical evaluation of results. You will be required to show your ability to work effectively to solve problems and communicate your work clearly in a professional manner.
