Lectures cover data reduction techniques and instrument theory. The application of techniques presented in Engineering Measurements 1 to evaluate the performance of various types of mechanical systems. This course presents an analysis of the serious long-range problems resulting from a conflict between the rapidly increasing demand for energy and the earth's limited resources. Technical alternatives are discussed and their potential analyzed. Junior status required.
Fluid mechanics is developed using the general energy principle equations.
Includes fluid pressure, fluid pumps and motors, laminar and turbulent flow, fluid friction, pipeline systems, open channel flow, flow measurement devices, and fluid dynamics. In this course, topics addressed include turbomachinery design, compressible fluid flow, unsteady fluid dynamics and cavitation. Subjects will be addressed using applications approach. Presents the design and analysis of HVAC systems for maintaining a proper thermal environment for buildings. A case study approach is utilized.
