Introduction
After completing the course, the student is expected to achieve the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:
Knowledge
The student has in-depth knowledge of:
- different types of fluid flows and their properties
- continuity equation
- energy equations for mechanical and thermal energy and associated loss
- Navier-Stoke's equations for calculating velocity field
- Key concepts of laminar boundary layer, turbulent flow and turbulence modelling
- key concepts and context of calculating mass transfer
- numerical solution of differential equations based on Finite Volume Method
Skills
The student is capable of:
- calculating vector algebra expressions such as curl and divergence
- performing simple calculations using Euler's equations
- calculating stream functions of different fluid flows
- performing dimensional analysis for a given problem involving fluid flow, heat transfer and mass transfer
- calculating pressure drop and mass flow for iso-thermal flows
- calculating concentration of the components in a multicomponent mixture
- solving simple diffusion and advection problems (e.g. heat transfer) by creating his/her own program code (MATLAB)
- use commercial software (StarCCM+) for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) problems
General competence
The student is capable of:
- assessing whether a numerical or analytical solution method is appropriate for solving a given problem
- solving complex problems by combining thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer and fluid dynamics
- communicating with natural scientists on topics relating to thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer
- communicating with CFD specialists
Recommended preliminary courses
Design of Concrete Structures.
MABY4400 Structural analysis and design
MABY4700 Life Cycle Assessment for Built Environment
MABY4800 Advanced Materials and Technologies for Sustainable Structures
Required preliminary courses
The following required coursework must be approved before a student can take the exam:
- Individual submission of 4 exercises (including computer programming exercises/CFD simulations) related to lectures
The purpose of the coursework requirements is to encourage consistent efforts throughout the semester and help the students meet the skills and competence requirements.
Learning outcomes
Individual written exam, three hours.
The exam grade can be appealed. In the event of a new or rescheduled individual written exam, an oral examination may be conducted. The new and rescheduled oral exams if conducted, the result/grade cannot be appealed further.
Teaching and learning methods
A handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication. If the calculator's internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be made.
Course requirements
One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.
Assessment
No requirements other than the admission requirements.
Permitted exam materials and equipment
All aids permitted.
Grading scale
Graded scale: A-F.
Examiners
One or two internal examiners.
External examiners are used regularly.
