Abstract
The Department of Fuel and Energy at Leeds University is unique in British Universities and has been in existence since 1906. Throughout this period it has taught courses in applied thermodynamics. The courses are specifically aimed at the thermodynamics of energy generation and utilisation. As 95% of energy is derived from the combustion of fossil fuels this process forms a key feature of the thermodynamic teaching. The applications-oriented teaching results in related thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer courses which are different from conventional mechanical engineering courses.
