  • Apply the experimental and computational tools used in the industry for solving thermo-fluid problems

Notes

Out of Scope

  • Advanced thermodynamics (phase change, P-V diagrams, thermodynamic cycles)
  • Advanced fluid mechanics (multiphase flows, compressible flows, hyper/supersonic flows)
  • Hydraulics and pneumatics

Participants have 12 weeks to complete this course.

Who Should Attend

  • Working knowledge of physics and basic calculus needed to understand the concepts taught in the course
  • Audience with an educational background in flow and heat transfer may be overqualified for this course
  • Individuals with hands-on experience in the industry (engineers, lab technicians, field service technicians, etc.) can benefit from the course and additionally make the course more interactive by sharing their experiences
