Energy systems are of major importance in society and are a significant engineering research activity at ANU. This course emphasises a systems approach to engineering, integrating technical fundamentals with social and environmental issues through site visits and case studies of energy systems. Engineering science fundamentals include the first law of thermodynamics and heat transfer. The thermal performance of houses is used as a major systems theme for the course. The course also introduces the second law of thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics.
Workload commitments for ENGN2222: - 3 lectures per week, - attend 2 tutorials per week starting Week 2, - 1 field trip (date yet to be determined), - 1 3-hour heat exchanger lab, - two 1-hour quizzes - a ~30 page thermal analysis assignment. About 6 hours of independent study is required each week, in addition to contact hours.

Both of the following textbooks are strongly recommended because of the additional explanations and examples that they provide in addition to what is given in lectures. Thermodynamics text: - Çengel and Boles (2010) Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach, 7th Ed, McGraw-Hill. ~$130 from ANU Coop bookshop. Heat transfer text: - J.P. Holman (2009), Heat Transfer, McGraw-Hill. ~150 from ANU Coop bookshop. In previous years, Moran & Shapiro Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics, Wiley, was the recommended thermodynamics textbook. If you can get hold of an old copy of that text, it's a perfectly acceptable alternative. It's just not our preferred text any more. A supplementary heat transfer text, A Heat Transfer Textbook Lienhard & Lienhard (Phlogiston Press) is available free online at http://web.mit.edu/lienhard/www/ahtt.html and may be a useful additional resource.
