INTERMEDIATE GAS DYNAMICS

ME 471

Principles of thermodynamics and fluid dynamics utilized in the analysis and design of gas-turbine cycles, components and systems for stationary, automotive and aircraft applications.

ME 761

Thermostatic behavior of nonideal gases; equations of state, with emphasis on their empirical and statistical development, including mixture rules; more detailed study of chemical and phase equilibrium; selected applications of the foregoing; real gas processes, combustion, direct energy conversion devices. Knowledge of thermodynamics [such asM E 561] strongly encouraged.

ME 573

Provides an in-depth introduction to the methods and analysis techniques used in computational solutions of fluid mechanics and heat transfer problems. Model problems are used to study the interaction of physical processes and numerical techniques. Contemporary methods for boundary layers, incompressible viscous flows, and inviscid compressible flows are studied. Finite differences and finite volume techniques are emphasized. Knowledge of programming language such as Python, C++, MATLAB or Java required.

ME 363

Laws of mechanics and thermodynamics applied to fluids at rest and in motion; potential flow; dimensional analysis; viscous flow; pipe flow; boundary-layer theory; compressible flow.

EPD 625

Provides a physically based understanding of gas dynamics with applications to internal combustion engines.
