Introductory Thermal Sciences And Electricity

AY2014/2015 Semester 1

The first part of this course aims to provide students with an understanding of the basic principles of electric power and machines. It covers the fundamentals of power systems, electromagnetism, transformers and rotating machines. The second part of this course aims to provide students with a good understanding of the fundamental principles of thermal-fluids sciences. It covers topics on fluid mechanics, temperature and ideal gases, laws of thermodynamics and mechanisms of heat and mass transfer. Applications of these concepts in solving simple engineering problems will also be covered.
