Fundamentals of Thermodynamics: enable students to deal with energy related problems in a quantitative manner (identify, formulate and solve energy-related problems). In particular, students should be able to use the principle of the conservation of energy in engineering applications and be aware of the limits of the energy conversion from heat to mechanical work. Become familiar with important thermodynamic cycles. The relationship between thermodynamics and other subject areas and the role of energy efficiency are to be shown;

Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics: after completion of this section the students should be able to understand and solve a variety of problems involving: the pressure versus height relationship in a static fluid for a given fluid property variation; the resultant hydrostatic forces on submerged surfaces (including buoyancy forces); the principle of conservation of mass; the Euler, Bernoulli and energy equations; flow measurement devices such as Pitot tubes and Venturi meter and simple laminar and turbulent pipe flows;

skills in report writing, teamwork during laboratory sessions, measurement techniques and error analysis.
