METC 234 - Thermodynamics and Fluid Sciences
Credit Hours: 4
Billable Contact Hours: 6
Prerequisites: MATH 124 or MATH 164 or METC 160 or MATH 157 and MATH 159 .
Session Cycle: WI
This course presents the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid science. The focus is on industrial applications and their basis in thermodynamic theory and fluid mechanics. Included are heat capacity, heat transfer, phase changes, thermal cycles, efficiency, power generation, refrigeration, fluid flow, and pumping. Lab exercises will demonstrate some of these concepts, with computer simulations used to demonstrate where physical equipment is impractical for the classroom. In addition, fluid flow characteristics are presented where related to heat exchanger performance.
