Partial differential equations are mathematical tools used in studying systems and modeling its phenomena. They are widely used in diverse areas of engineering, physical sciences, biology, economics and finance. The aim of this course is to teach the students how to solve partial differential equations and interpret the resulting solutions. The course first discusses the solutions of PDEs using

Starting with a review of thermodynamics I, then the performance of gas power cycles for which the working fluid remains a gas throughout the entire cycle is covered. The analysis of vapor power cycles in which the working fluid is alternately vaporized and condensed is then considered. Finally, the mixture theory is presented.

This second course in heat transfer focuses on more advanced topics which include. Phase change heat transfer (Boiling and Condensation), Heat Exchangers, Radiation heat transfer and Mass transfer.

Starting with a review of fluid mechanics I, then the fluid kinematics is introduced including the Eulerian and the Lagrangian descriptions. Then the balance laws are derived for a general fluid then types of fluids are presented with emphasis on Newtonian fluids leading to the Navier-Stokes equations. Approximate analytical solutions for incompressible fluids are introduced including the boundary

Starting with an introduction to different numerical techniques, then the three basic approaches of the finite element method (FEM) namely; the direct approach, the variational approach and the weighted residual approach, are presented. The direct approach is used in the analysis of simple discrete systems e.g. pipelines, electric circuits, and trusses. Then the weighed residual procedure issued
