Syllabus academic year 2007/2008
THERMODYNAMICS AND FLUID MECHANICSMMV050

Higher education credits: 10,5. Grading scale: TH. Level: G2 (First level). Language of instruction: The course will be given in Swedish. Compulsory for: M2, MD2. Course coordinator: Christoffer Norberg, christoffer.norberg@vok.lth.se, Energivetenskaper. Prerequisites: FMA410 Calculus in One Variable. Recommended prerequisits: FMA421 Linear Algebra with Scientific Computation, FMA435 or FMA430 Calculus in Several Variables, FME052 Engineering Mechanics, Basic Course. Assessment: Two written tests, mainly theory; individual problem assignments; laboratory work; and a final written examination on problem-solving. The course mark is determined from a weighted total sum, which consists of the result from the passed written examination including bonus points from approved problem assignments (if given) and the two passed tests. The graduation is determined from a special formula. Parts: 3. Home page: http://www.vok.lth.se/.
