3.00 Credits
Course deals with fundamentals of the fluid mechanics and thermodynamics of turbo-machinery with emphasis on gas turbines, including cycles, components and component-matching. Behavior and design of compressors, turbines and pumps. Upon successful completion of course, students will be able to evaluate the performance of turbo-machinery and design and optimize component and system performance. Prerequisites: ME 308 and ME 341.
-
3.00 Credits
Selected topics in numerical methods are developed to solve problems in fluid mechanics, heat transfer, vibrations and acoustics. Examples include the development of the Navier-Stokes equation, volume-control analysis for flow continuity, momentum and energy in rectangular, spherical and cylindrical coordinates; Fourier series; Taylor series, Laplace transforms, Lagrangian interpolation and the Newton-Raphson method to solve systems of equations. Topics will change to reflect demands in undergraduate engineering courses, for engineering graduate school preparation and for general professional development. Prerequisite: MTH 322
-
3.00 Credits
Specific course goals are to demonstrate the basic application of the principles of thermodynamics and heat transfer to air conditioning systems. Topics include indoor air quality, heat transmission in buildings, solar radiation, space heating and cooling loads, energy calculations and pumping. A design project will be performed. Prerequisites: ME 341, ME 347 or instructor's permission.
-
3.00 Credits
Focus is on energy systems associated with electric power-generation. Specific goals are to expose the student to the various sources of energy, including renewable energy sources (solar and wind), nuclear, geothermal, biomass and fuel cells. Students will develop an understanding of basic energy economics, environmental impact and industrial risks. Relate the principals of thermodynamics and heat transfer to the application of available energy resources and promote the concept of energy conservation through proper system design. Prerequisites: ME 341 and ME 347/ME 347L or instructor's permission.
-
3.00 Credits
Classification of heat exchangers, design methods, single phase convection correlations and two-phase correlations, pressure drop calculations, fouling of heat exchangers. Study of various types of heat exchangers: double-pipe heat exchangers, shell-and-tube heat exchangers, compact heat exchangers, plate heat exchangers, condensers and evaporators. Prerequisite: ME 347/ME 347L or instructor's consent.
-
3.00 Credits
Application of finite difference numerical methods to heat transfer from steady two dimensional heat transfer to transient three dimensional (explicit and implicit methods). Computations and characterization for designs of thermal systems using commercial thermal software. Learn to build finite element models: geometric modeling, elements and meshing, fields, materials and element properties, thermal/fluid boundary conditions, groups, viewing, display. Learn to evaluate the models analysis set up, results and plots. Applications to thermal engineering problems. Thermal engineering design projects assigned will be modeled thermally using commercial thermal software. Prerequisite: ME 347.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of engine types and operation, engine design parameters, ideal and actual engine cycles, thermochemistry of fuel-air mixtures, properties of working fluids, gas exchange processes, combustion in spark-ignition and compression-ignition engines, pollutant formation and control and engine operating characteristics. Course design project consists of an optimization study among selected engine design parameters and/or the design of an engine mechanical system or an engine system involving the solution of a gas dynamic and/or heat transfer problem. Prerequisite: ME 340.
-
3.00 Credits
Background on materials used in electronics manufacturing and their thermal properties. Failures in electronics due to thermal reasons, contact resistance and miniature heat pipes will be covered. Design projects will be designed. Prerequisites: ME 347/ME 347L.
-
3.00 Credits
Covers interactive computer programming and graphics and their applications in the mechanical design of engineering systems. Presents various ways in which computers can help the designer solve problems and make decisions. These include but are not limited to mathematical and computer modeling, analysis and optimization, finite element analysis, simulations, animation and two- and three-dimensional graphics and presentations. Design projects involving the application of CAD (computer-aided design) constitute a significant portion of the course. Prerequisites: senior standing in ME program
