Teaching methods
Course notes are being prepared and will be made available in electronic format during the term.
Lecture slides will also be available
Lecture slides will also be available
Evaluation methods
The final evaluation is based on a written exam and homework/laboratory report marks. The homework assignments and laboratory activities are mandatory, and individual unless announced otherwise. A report must be produced for each within a specified time frame and the marks are definitive (these assignments cannot be retaken). The exam is subdivided into 2 parts:
- theory
- practical exercises : performance evaluation and system design
Other information
Lectures:
- Fluid mechanics and transfer phenomena (LMECA1321)
- Thermodynamics and energetics (LMECA1855)
- Fluid mechanics and transfer II (LMECA2322) : can be followed concurrently
- Aerodynamics of external flows (LMECA23232) : optional as it is complementary
