Overview
This unit will equip you with advanced knowledge and applications of the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer to the design and analysis of complex thermofluid systems. You will apply your knowledge and understanding to evaluate the performance of air conditioning, cooling tower and other heat and energy transfer processes in various industrial plants. You will achieve the learning outcomes through an integration of advanced theoretical concepts and the application of modelling approaches and experimental methods to solve industrial thermofluid problems. You will work both individually and collaboratively to solve problems and document and communicate your work clearly in a professional manner.

See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 3 - 2026
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from SUTE
The evaluation survey reflects strong student satisfaction with the unit’s current structure and delivery. However, students have expressed a preference for a break between sessions.
It is recommended to incorporate at least a one-hour break between the lecture and tutorial. This adjustment should be considered for adoption in future offerings to enhance the overall learning experience.
