Unit Code: MEB706

Unit Name: Mechanisms and Dynamics of Machinery

Description: When engineers design mechanisms they are likely to encounter problems with the analysis of velocities, accelerations and forces involved in the design. These factors have a direct impact on the stability and performance of the designed mechanisms. This course prepares the students to comprehend the fundamental concepts of various kinds of mechanisms and enable them to analyse their performance in terms of the factors mentioned above. The course also helps the students in comprehension of the vibration fundamentals including theory of unbalance and its control.

Learning Target Outcomes: On successful completion of this course, students should be able to: 1. Command the usage and differentiate the concepts and terminology relating to heat transfer (WA 1 WA2) 2. Analyse and interpret complex engineering heat flow situations and determine heat flow parameters (WA2) 3. Analyse and interpret conduction, convection and radiation heat flow in complex engineering systems. (WA2 WA3) 4. Determine and specify an appropriate type of heat exchanger for given heat transfer situation. (WA2-4) 5. Undertake the thermal design of a heat exchanger for a given situation and undertake the thermal rating of a heat exchanger to predict performance in a given situation.(WA3-4)
