The module aims to provide the theoretical and practical background in the use of fuels via a physico-chemical approach to combustion and to present the technological aspects relative to fuel combustion.
The module is offered during the second semester to year 2 students of the Energy Engineering Programme.
This course aims to provide the basics of steam power plant, gas power plant, refrigeration and air conditioning. It covers steam properties, vapour power cycles, application of steam to turbines and gas turbines. It also covers the refrigeration cycles, psychometric properties and air conditioning process.
The course of Engineering Materials and Metallurgy gives insight and clear understanding on the most common types of engineering materials, their properties, their processing and their applications in engineering.
- Introduction to Engineering Materials
- Metallic Materials
- Ceramics, Glasses & Refractory Materials
- Polymers & Rubbers
- Composites
- Environmental Degradation
The module aims to provide the basics of Solid and Structural Mechanics as applied to Engineering practice.
Shear stress in beams, deflection of beams, stress in curved beams, Unsymmetrical bending of beams, Determination of beam displacement by Energy methods, Thick and Compound Cylinders. Stresses in Rotating discs and Cylinders.
This course aims to link with the Level 2, Elementary Fluids mechanics, Course extending the theory to include the study of viscous flows, with application to lubrication, pipe flow and boundary layer flows. The course then introduces aerofoil theory, and gives applications to the flow over real aerofoils. Finally, the course studies the application to aeroplane dynamics, including take-off and landing.
Learning Outcomes
Having successfully completed the module, students should be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:
1.1. The principles of laminar and turbulent viscous flow
1.2. The behaviour of unbounded flow with friction (boundary layers) and bounded flows (pipe flow).
1.3. The basics of ideal flow theory and flow over aerofoils.
1.4. Aeroplane dynamics.
