ME 316 - Fluid Mechanics

Institution:

Western New England University

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite: ME 203; ME 303 or permission of instructor. This introductory course is offered to both mechanical engineering majors and non-majors and is designed to provide students with the background and tools required to develop a physical feel for the phenomenon of fluid motion, to develop practical methodologies for the solution of engineering flow problems encountered in Modern technology, and to prepare students to enter professional practice. Students become familiar with pressure measurement; determine hydrostatic forces on submerged surfaces; develop and use the continuity, momentum, and energy equations; understand dimensional analysis and dynamic similitude; analyze flow in closed conduits; calculate the drag force on various two and three-dimensional bodies; and understand boundary layer theory, model testing, and fluid measurement techniques. A team design project involving a typical fluid dynamics team design problem is required. The methods of assessing students include homework assignments, quizzes, examinations, projects, and a final exam. 3 cr.
