Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering - Thermofluids

The MS in Mechanical Engineering has a Thermofluids concentration. Some of the representative research areas under this concentration may include thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, kinetic theory of gases, and thermophoresis of aerosols; microscale heat transfer phenomena and its effects on laser beam propagation; fundamentals of combustion such as burning speed and onset of auto-ignition measurement and flame stability analysis; development of chemistry reduction such as rate-controlled constrained-equilibrium method; formation and control of combustion-generated pollutants and greenhouse gases; chemistry, transport, and abatement of air pollution; alternative energy sources; combustion-based synthesis of materials; fire propagation, containment, and extinction; nonequilibrium thermodynamics; energy and gas turbine cooling technology; turbine blade cooling; and energy-related and calorimeter studies related to pharmaceutical developments. Our research and teaching together seek to prepare students to understand and exploit thermofluids to enable their future engineering innovations.

If you’re new to Australia and English is not your first language, your child's English language skills will be assessed. If your child is in the early stages of learning English, your child may be able to attend an Intensive English Unit (IEU) program. Your child can attend this program for a year. An extra semester of study may also be arranged in discussion with your child's school.Two letters of recommendation are required.At the time of application submission, we require unofficial copies of your transcripts from all institutions in which you earned a Bachelor’s degree equivalent or higher.Include a Statement of Purpose.
