ENGT 316 Applied Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer

5 CR

This course explores the fundamental concepts of fluid mechanics and heat transfer and their applications in engineering. Fluid mechanics and heat transfer are key to the understanding and improvement of mechanical systems. Topics include analysis of static fluid bodies, fluid dynamics, the effects of viscous and thermal boundary layers, fluid conservation equations, fluid flow through piping systems and external flow analysis, the concept of boundary layer behavior to heat transfer, conduction and convection, the design of heat exchangers, and introduction to process thermodynamics.
Prerequisite(s): MATH& 152 with a C or higher and PHYS& 114 , CHEM& 161 , both with a C+ or higher, and BASET Program Admission or Instructor permission.
