Course Objectives: This course is designed to teach fluid dynamics analysis for mechatronics engineers with special focus on mechatronics applications. Upon the completion of the course, students will be able to analyze the flow of mass, momentum, and energy with cycles, conservation laws and exergy analysis in mechatronics systems.
Course Contents: Laws of thermodynamics, evaluating properties, entropy, control volume analysis, thermodynamic cycles, power and refrigeration systems
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit (LO):
  • 1- Ability to use control volume analysis for mass, momentum, and energy flow
  • 2- Ability to use evaluating properties
  • 3- Ability to analyze thermodynamic cycles
  • 4- Ability to carry out exergy analysis
  • 5- Ability to study power and refrigeration systems
  • 6- Ability to design basic systems with thermodynamic cycles
Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods: Face to face teaching
