THERMODYNAMICS AND FLUID MECHANICSMMVF01

Higher education credits: 11. 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@energy.lth.se, Energivetenskaper. Recommended prerequisits: FMAA05 Calculus in One Variable. FMA421 Linear Algebra with Scientific Computation, FMA430 Calculus in Several Variables, FMEA01 Mechanics - Statics and Particle Dynamics. 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.energy.lth.se/.
