This course is presented within the framework of a common model for the engineering design process. This model serves as a conceptual framework for study in the areas of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. This course concerns the study of mediums and energy. The basic conservation laws are developed. The student will gain a basic engineering knowledge of thermal science applications in the Army. Emphasis is placed on practical applications of internal combustion and gas turbine engines and fluid flow. Laboratory exercises and design are integrated into classroom work. ***This course is provisionally approved for the Aero-Mech Core Engineering sequence and must undergo review by the Curriculum Committee NLT AY27-2 to continue. Pending ABET-PEV review of 3.0 ET credit.***
