MANI3002 - Energy and Power Systems (2023)

Availabilities:

Unit description

Applies a systems-based engineering approach to analysis, design and management of energy and power systems, including renewable energy systems and smart grids. There is a particular focus on regional and national energy and power systems with special emphasis on electricity and thermal systems. A scenario-based learning approach is used to guide students in applying a range of practical tools and techniques along with skills in systems analysis, engineering design and project management to a real industry-based engineering project.

Unit content

Module 1:  Introduction to fluid mechanics           

Module 2:  Fundamentals of fluid dynamics: Bernoulli’s equation and fluid kinematics        

Module 3:  Finite control volume and viscous flow in pipes

Module 4:  Flow over the immersed body and open channel flow

Module 5:  Convection and radiation heat transfer            

Module 6:  Air conditioning

Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.
