E3006, Thermodynamics |
Institution: |
University of Southern Queensland, Australia |
Level: |
Degree, diploma. |
Description: |
Thermodynamics is that branch of physics which seeks to derive relationships between properties of matter, especially those which are affected by temperature; and a description of the conversion of energy from one form to another. Mechanical engineering systems are primarily about energy exchanges. All mechanical engineers must therefore be well grounded in those relationships which describe those exchanges. They must also be spilled in analysing machinery and systems for the energy exchanges occurring. Thermodynamics is therefore an essential and most important part of any mechanical engineering course of study. Assessment is by assignments and end of semester examination. Programmes for which this course is required or in which it can be included: Associate Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Bachelor of Technology Major in Mechanical Engineering. |
