This Unit is designed to enable candidates to develop the knowledge and understanding required to apply the basic principles of thermofluids to the solution of problems within engineering systems. The Unit will also provide the candidate with a base from which future advanced work in Mechanical Engineering may be undertaken.

On completion of the Unit the candidate should be able to:

1 Evaluate properties, changes and energy transfers of state for perfect gases.
2 Evaluate properties, changes and energy transfers of state for vapours.
3 Apply energy, continuity and momentum principles to steady flow processes.
