Energy and the Environment specialisation
Energy and the Environment specialisation |
|---|
| Students in the Mechanical or Mechanical (Space) stream must complete 18 credit points to achieve this specialisation. |
| Unit of study | Credit points | A: Assumed knowledge P: Prerequisites C: Corequisites N: Prohibition |
|---|---|---|
| Students complete 12 credit points from the following: | ||
| AMME5101 Energy and the Environment |
6 | A Students are expected to be familiar with the basic laws of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer P MECH3260 OR MECH9260 or MECH8260 OR AERO3261 OR AERO9261 or AERO8261 N AMME8101 |
| MECH5275 Renewable Energy |
6 | A The student will need a sound background in advanced level fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and heat transfer. In particular, students should be able to analyse fluid flow in turbomachinery; perform first and second law thermodynamic analysis of energy conversion systems, including chemically reacting systems; and perform advanced level calculations of conductive and convective and radiative heat transfer, including radiative spectral analysis P (MECH3260 and MECH3261) or (MECH8260 and MECH8261) or (MECH9260 and MECH9261) or (AERO3260 and AERO3261) or (AERO8260 and AERO8261) or (AERO9260 and AERO9261) or equivalent study at another institution |
| Students complete 6 credit points from the following: | ||
| AMME5202 Computational Fluid Dynamics |
6 | A Partial differential equations; Finite difference methods; Taylor series; Basic fluid mechanics including pressure, velocity, boundary layers, separated and recirculating flows. Basic computer programming skills P [(MECH3261 AND AMME2000) OR (AERO3260 AND AMME2000)] OR ENGG5202 OR MECH8261 N AMME8202 |
| AMME5510 Vibration and Acoustics |
6 | P (AMME2301 OR AMME9301) AND (AMME2200 OR AMME2261 OR AMME9261) AND (AMME2500 OR AMME9500) N AMME8510 |
| MECH5255 Air Conditioning and Refrigeration |
6 | A Students are expected to be familiar with the basic laws of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer N MECH4255 |
| Units taken for the specialisation will also count toward requirements of the Mechanical stream. | ||
