4.00 Credits
This course presents the principles of static equilibrium and focuses on material properties such as tensile, shear, bending, and torsional stresses as applied to beams, shafts, and trusses. Laboratory tests are conducted to emphasize concepts of elasticity, deflections, and ultimate stresses. Prerequisites: MATH205 College Math I or MATH225 College Math A; PHYS205 Physics A or PHYS 210 College Physics I. ACPE Course.
-
4.00 Credits
The First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics serve as the basis for investigating problems involving liquids, gases and vapors as applied to the generation of power. Emphasis is placed on an understanding of the thermodynamic properties as they relate to processes. Topics include analysis of the Carnot, Otto, Diesel, and Rankine cycles. Prerequisite: MATH280 Calculus I. ACPE Course.
-
4.00 Credits
The First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics are investigated with open and closed systems, and thermodynamic properties of liquids and vapors are analyzed for various non-flow and steady flow processes. Concepts of thermal power, efficiency, entropy, and Carnot Cycle are introduced, and laboratory experiments are conducted to introduce measurement techniques. Prerequisites: MATH225 College Mathematics A; and PHYS205 Physics A. ACPE Course.
-
4.00 Credits
The vector approach of the equilibrium of particle and rigid bodies is presented. Trusses, frames, shear and bending moment diagrams, centroids and moments of inertia are studied. Prerequisites: MATH290 Calculus II; PHYS310 Engineering Physics I. Day Course.
-
4.00 Credits
The First Law of Thermodynamics serves as the basis for investigating problems as applied to open and closed systems. Emphasis is placed on evaluating the change in properties of gases and vapors undergoing various nonflow and flow processes. The Carnot Cycle is used to develop the Second Law and Entropy concept. Prerequisite: MATH205 College Mathematics I. Day Course.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a general study of both incompressible and compressible flow using the continuity, general energy and momentum equations. Topics covered are properties of fluids, the Bernoulli equation, orifice and venturi flow, turbulent and laminar flow through pipes and over flat plates, compressible flow through nozzles, and drag and lift. Prerequisite: MECH255 Thermodynamics I and MATH280 Calculus I. Day Course.
-
4.00 Credits
The fundamental laws governing energy conversion are used to analyze both nonflow and steady-flow processes as applied to heat exchangers and power generating equipment. The theory of mixtures and their application to the chemistry of combustion for fossil, liquid and gaseous fuels is thoroughly discussed. Prerequisite: MECH255 Thermodynamics I. Day Course.
-
4.00 Credits
The concepts of stress and strain and their relation are introduced. Axially loaded members, temperature effect, torsion, bending, combined loading and stress transformations are studied. Stability and buckling of columns are discussed. Laboratory experiences reinforce classroom theory. Prerequisite: MECH251 Engineering Statics. Day Course.
-
4.00 Credits
