This course introduces industrial welding processes. These include fusion welding with the oxyacetylene and arc processes, brazing of ferrous and nonferrous metals, oxyacetylene cutting, inert gas welding and the study of advanced welding techniques, e.g., lasers. This course introduces the organizational and functional requirements for effective production. Tolerance charts and work piece control are used to plan the manufacturing sequence, select the preferred manufacturing equipment and the operational sequence. This course is an introduction to incompressible internal flow with application to hydraulics.
Fluid power is treated.
Analysis are performed on steady and unsteady incompressible flow. Laboratory work includes the calibration and use of equipment to measure viscosity, specific gravity, pressure drop, flow profiles and flowrates using different hydraulic systems. Compressible internal flow is studied with application to industrial, pneumatic systems. Isentropic, isothermal, and flow of real gases are studied for nozzles, venturis, Pitot-tubes and pipe systems. Flow loss calculations are made using the Darcy-Weisbach and Fanno Line techniques.
