Thermal Hydraulics in Power Technology OpenCourseWare: Free Online Graduate Level Course on Thermal Hydraulics by MIT
If you are an engineer or a graduate student, studying nuclear, mechanical or chemical engineering, interested in thermal hydraulics as applied to power systems, then OpenCourseWare materials offered for free by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering might be of interest. MIT's 'Thermal Hydraulics in Power Technology' course looks at heated fluid flow events that may cause a system change, such as a pressure drop and methods used to investigate these occurrences in power stations.

Thermal Hydraulics in Power Technology: Course Description
'Thermal Hydraulics in Power Technology' covers three major topics: two-phase flow, two-phase heat transferral and thermal analysis and design procedures, as applied to conventional and nuclear power stations. Specific principles taught in 'Thermal Hydraulics in Power Technology' include modeling of pressure drops and void fraction, pool boiling, bubble nucleation and analysis of multiple channel and subchannel. Professor Jacopo Buongiorno presented the original graduate course at MIT in a lecture format with accompanying readings, assignments and problem sets. The course was offered by the Nuclear Science and Engineering Department but was also available to mechanical and chemical engineering students. Knowledge of and access to MATLAB or Mathcad would be helpful.
The OpenCourseWare includes problem sets, exams and solutions in .pdf format, a syllabus, a reading list and MATLAB code useful for solving assignments. If you are interested in exploring a this particular aspect of power systems further, then visit the hot fluid mechanics course page.
