Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

This paper builds on concepts introduced in Level 1 papers and provides underpinning knowledge for thermofluids, heat transfer, energy systems and more advanced design papers, especially those involving chemical, biological or mechanical processes. It covers; energy processes, thermodynamic laws and cycles, psychrometry, and thermodynamic property relationships, advanced problem solving techniques and material and energy balances with reaction and recycle.

The course is taught through a combination of lectures, tutorials, and laboratory classes. Details of lecture and lab content are provided in the time table and lab manual. Please note that laboratory classes start in the second week of semester and are an ESSENTIAL part of the course.

Important Note for International Students: For international students in New Zealand under student visas, regular attendance is part of your visa obligation and is checked as a requirement on the University under the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students, to which the University is a signatory. Academic staff are formally required to monitor attendance in classes and submission of compulsory assessment events/items and to report to Waikato International in the event that any problem with irregular attendance or non-submission is not resolved.

Final exam

End of semester, covering whole semester’s lecture material. Restricted book format i.e. two (2) sheets of A4 notes (any format – hand written, typed, photocopied or any combination of these) plus the textbook (Cengel & Boles) may be brought into the examination room with you. Programmable calculators are allowed. Format of the final exam will be discussed in lectures during the last two weeks of the course. Note: Two sheets means four (4) sides.
