09S, 10S: 2A An investigation of techniques useful in the mechanical design process. Topics include computer graphics, computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing, computer-aided (finite element) analysis, and the influence of manufacturing methods on the design process. Project work will be emphasized. Enrollment is limited to 24 students. Prerequisite: Engineering Sciences 76. Diamond.

3.00 Credits
All terms: Arrange An original investigation in a phase of science or engineering under the supervision of a member of the staff. Students electing the course will be expected to have a proposal approved by the Department Chair and to meet weekly with the staff member supervising the investigation. The course is open to undergraduates who are not majoring in engineering. It may be elected only once, or taken as a one-third course credit for each of three consecutive terms. A report describing the details of the investigation must be filed with the Department Chair at the completion of the course. Prerequisite: Permission of Department Chair (a one-page proposal submission is required). Dist: TAS.

09W, 10W: 3A The focus of the course is the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to solve real-life engineering problems. The basic conservation equations, theory of turbulence and different turbulence models are considered. A wide variety of fluid flows, heat transfer, and multiphase flow phenomena are studied. Numerical solution techniques are discussed as well as discretization of the flow geometry, i.e. grid generation. Students are required to complete several CFD projects. Prerequisite: Engineering Sciences 34, or permission of the instructor. Bakker.

09S: Arrange Offered in alternate years Applications of fluid mechanics to natural flows of water and air in environmentally relevant systems. The course begins with a review of fundamental fluid physics with emphasis on mass, momentum and energy conservation. These concepts are then utilized to study processes that naturally occur in air and water, such as boundary layers, waves, instabilities, turbulence, mixing, convection, plumes and stratification. The knowledge of these processes is then sequentially applied to the following environmental fluid systems: rivers and streams, wetlands, lakes and reservoirs, estuaries, the coastal ocean, smokestack plumes, urban airsheds, the lower atmospheric boundary layer, and the troposphere. Interactions between air and water systems are also studied in context (for example, sea breeze in the context of the lower atmospheric boundary layer). Prerequisites: Engineering Sciences 34 and Engineering Sciences 37, or equivalent. Cushman-Roisin.

09W: Arrange Offered in alternate years The fluid description of plasmas and electrically conducting fluids including magne-tohydrodynamics and two-fluid fluid theory. Applications to laboratory and space plasmas including magnetostatics, stationary flows, waves, instabilities, and shocks. Prerequisites: Physics 68 or equivalent, or permission of the instructor. Lotko

09S: Arrange Offered in alternate years Theory and computational techniques used in contemporary plasma physics, especially nonlinear plasma dynamics, including fluid, particle and hybrid simulation approaches, also linear dispersion codes and data analysis. This is a "hands-on" numerical course; students will run plasma simulation codes and do a significant amount of new programming (using Matlab).Prerequisites: Physics 68 or equivalent with Engineering Sciences 91 or equivalent recommended, or permission of the instructor. Denton.

3.00 Credits
Not offered in the period from 08F through 10S The concepts of work, heat, and thermodynamic properties are reviewed. Special consideration is given to derivation of entropy through information theory and statistical mechanics. Chemical and phase equilibria are studied and applied to industrial processes. Many thermodynamic processes are analyzed; the concept of exergy (availability) is used to evaluate their performance, and identify ways to improve their efficiency. Prerequisite: Engineering Sciences 25.

09S, 10S: 10 Fundamentals of convection, conduction, radiation, mass, and momentum transport. Basic conservation laws and rate equations in laminar and turbulent flows. Exact solutions. Approximate solutions using boundary layer or integral techniques. Empirical methods. Analysis of engineering systems. Prerequisite: Engineering Sciences 34. Petrenko.
-
3.00 Credits
09W, 10W: 2A An in-depth exposure to the design of processes featuring chemical and/or biochemical transformations. Topics will feature integration of unit operations, simulation of system performance, sensitivity analysis, and system-level optimization. Process economics and investment return will be emphasized, with extensive use of the computer for simulation and analysis. Prerequisite: Engineering Sciences 36. Laser.
-
3.00 Credits
08F, 09F: 12 The use of reaction kinetics, catalyst formulation, and reactor configuration and control to achieve desired chemical transformations. The concepts and methods of analysis are of general applicability. Applications include combustion, fermentations, electrochemistry, and petrochemical reactions. Prerequisite: Engineering Sciences 36. Griswold.
