ME312 (Version: 2009 2) COURSE DETAILS (ARCHIVED)


COURSE TITLE EFF YEAR EFF TERM DEPARTMENT CREDIT HOURS
ME312 THERMAL-FLUID SYSTEMS II 2009 2 Civil and Mechanical Engineering 3.0 (BS=0.0, ET=3.0, MA=0.0)
SCOPE
ME 312 Thermal-Fluid Systems II continues the integrated study of fundamental topics in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. The course applies conservation principles for mass, energy, and linear momentum as well as the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. Principles are applied to an automotive system to examine engine performance (Otto and Diesel Cycles) and to high performance aircraft to examine the Brayton Cycle, compressible flow, external flow, lift, and drag. Laboratory exercises are integrated into classroom work. Design problems provide the opportunity for students to apply engineering science to the design of thermal-fluid systems.
LESSONS: 35 @ 55 min (3.000 Att/wk) LABS: 5 @ 55 min
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:
None

COURSE TITLE EFF YEAR EFF TERM DEPARTMENT CREDIT HOURS
ME312 THERMAL-FLUID SYSTEMS II 2007 2 Civil and Mechanical Engineering 3.5 (BS=0.0, ET=3.5, MA=0.0)
SCOPE
ME 312 Thermal-Fluid Systems II continues the integrated study of fundamental topics in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. The course applies conservation principles for mass, energy, and linear momentum as well as the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. Principles are applied to an automotive system to examine engine performance (Otto and Diesel Cycles) and to high performance aircraft to examine the Brayton Cycle, compressible flow, external flow, lift, and drag. Laboratory exercises are integrated into classroom work. This course includes completion of a comprehensive, out-of-class design problem. This design problem provides the opportunity for students to apply engineering science to the design of a comprehensive thermal-fluid system.
LESSONS: 42 @ 55 min (3.000 Att/wk) LABS: 5 @ 120 min
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:
The completion of an out-of-class design problem requiring the equivalent of 0.5 credit hour of student effort. Compensatory time is provided to complete the design requirement.
