This course explores the fundamental concepts of fluid mechanics and heat transfer, and their applications in engineering. The course begins by introducing analysis of static fluid bodies and then continues with fluid dynamics, principally the effects of viscous and thermal boundary layers. Fluid conservation equations are presented in detail. Fluid conveyancing through pipework and external flow analysis complete the coursework on fluids. The concept of boundary layer behaviour is then extended to heat transfer. Conduction, convection are treated at a fundamental level, leading to analysis and design of heat exchangers. Finally, radiation heat transfer is presented in a wider context.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

1. Apply fluid conservation and energy efficiency principles to engineered fluid systems.
2. Analyse loads on structures surrounding static bodies, as well as fluid piping systems and systems involving heat transfer.
3. Understand the principles of flow measurement.
4. Use opportunities to determine energetic or exergetic improvement of engineered systems.
5. Critically examine fluid systems and suggest improvements to design.
6. Critically examine heat transfer and thermal losses in engineered systems.
7. Apply combined fluid flow and heat transfer principles to analyse complex thermo-fluid systems.
8. Apply fluid flow and heat transfer principles to advanced engineering research problems.

Research-Led Teaching

This course will incorporate examples based on recent developments in pertinent engineering and science research to demonstrate the wide applicability of fluid mechanics and heat transfer. Three research seminars are arranged for you in Week 4, 7 and 10, respectively on the topics of:

· fluid mechanics & transport phenomena, a PhD project presented by Mr Morteza Hangi

· fluid mechanics in biomedicine, presented by Dr Nicolo Malagutti

· heat exchanger optimisation, a PhD project presented by Mr Morteza Hangi

Policies

ANU has educational policies, procedures and guidelines, which are designed to ensure that staff and students are aware of the University’s academic standards, and implement them. Students are expected to have read the Academic Misconduct Rule before the commencement of their course. Other key policies and guidelines include:

• Student Assessment (Coursework) Policy and Procedure
• Special Assessment Consideration Policy and General Information 
• Student Surveys and Evaluations
• Deferred Examinations
• Student Complaint Resolution Policy and Procedure

Assessment Requirements

The ANU is using Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website. Students may choose not to submit assessment items through Turnitin. In this instance you will be required to submit, alongside the assessment item itself, hard copies of all references included in the assessment item.

Moderation of Assessment

Marks that are allocated during Semester are to be considered provisional until formalised by the College examiners meeting at the end of each Semester. If appropriate, some moderation of marks might be applied prior to final results being released.

Participation

Participation in any course element is not mandatory. However, unjustified absence in the mid-semester exam and the final exam will automatically result in a 0 mark for the corresponding assessment item.

Examination(s)

Formal exams will include one mid-semester exam (Zoom, 1.5 hours including reading time and submission time, Thursday of Week 6) and one final exam (time and venue TBA, 2 hours including reading time and submission time). The mid-semester exam covers the material from weeks 1–5. The final exam covers the materials of the whole course. The exams are to be solved in class individually without communications among the course participants or with third parties.

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is a core part of our culture as a community of scholars. At its heart, academic integrity is about behaving ethically. This means that all members of the community commit to honest and responsible scholarly practice and to upholding these values with respect and fairness. The Australian National University commits to embedding the values of academic integrity in our teaching and learning. We ensure that all members of our community understand how to engage in academic work in ways that are consistent with, and actively support academic integrity. The ANU expects staff and students to uphold high standards of academic integrity and act ethically and honestly, to ensure the quality and value of the qualification that you will graduate with. The University has policies and procedures in place to promote academic integrity and manage academic misconduct. Visit the following Academic honesty & plagiarism website for more information about academic integrity and what the ANU considers academic misconduct. The ANU offers a number of services to assist students with their assignments, examinations, and other learning activities. The Academic Skills and Learning Centre offers a number of workshops and seminars that you may find useful for your studies.

Online Submission
