Boundary layer theory in fluid flow, energy and momentum transfer, dimensional analysis, correlations. Heat exchanger design and combustion technology including modelling and design.
This paper examines the physics of fluid dynamics, including their role in real applications such as pipe-work, flow measurement devices, pumps and compressors. Conduction, convection and radiation heat transfer are also addressed.
