-
3.00 Credits
The student, on an individual or small group basis, pursues advanced study of a research topic in mechanical engineering. The scope of the course is tailored to the desires of the student in consultation with his faculty advisor. The student is required to define and analyze the problem, study the fundamentals involved, organize the approach, determine the procedure, achieve a solution, and submit a written report. LESSONS and LABS: No formal class. Consultation with Department Faculty Advisor at least once a week on individual work required.
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced topics in mechanics of materials, including threedimensional stress and strain transformations, torsion of noncircular prismatic bars, shear center, unsymmetrical bending, curved beams, flat plates, elastic strain energy, and theories of failure and application to machine and structural design.
-
3.00 Credits
Engineering application of materials. Material, shape, and process selection for mechanical designs based on function, constraints, objectives, and free variables. Materials and the environment.
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced Fluid Mechanics is a continuation of concepts presented in a typical undergraduate course in fluid mechanics. The course introduces vector, tensor, and indicial notation. Topics in incompressible fluid dynamics are explored at depth including viscous flows, the Navier-Stokes equations, and boundary layer theory. Basic concepts in turbulent flow are also covered.
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamentals of conduction, convective heat transfer, diffusive and convective mass transfer, heat-exchanger design; tradeoff associated with heat transfer systems, workable and optimal system.
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced topics in renewable energy sources to include solar heating and cooling, wind resource characteristics and assessments; wind turbine technologies (fixed and variable-speed turbines); wind power transmission; integration and interconnection issues; and photovoltaic energy. Surveys the life cycle cost and present value to evaluate systems. Same as MECH 417 but includes graduate student project / report.
-
3.00 Credits
Multidisciplinary overview of energy technologies, fuels, environmental impacts, and public policies. Quantitative engineering analysis in energy, including the differences among fuels and energy technologies, the electricity sector, liquid fuels, conventional fuels, renewable fuels, impacts on the environment, basics of atmospheric chemistry, and water use for power plant cooling. Energy policy and the societal aspects of energy, such as culture, economics, war, and international affairs, are covered.
-
3.00 Credits
Physical features, operational characteristics, and analytical models for major electric power systems and components; advanced techniques for solving large power networks; load flow, symmetrical components, short circuit analysis.
-
3.00 Credits
