Courses
MAE 320 – Thermodynamics
Course Description:
MAE 320 Thermodynamics 3 Hr lecture. Principles of thermodynamics; properties of ideal gases and vapors; closed and control volume system; first and second laws of thermodynamics; entropy and entropy generation; basic gas and vapor cycles; basic refrigeration cycles.
Course Objectives:
This course continues the knowledge gained in the PHYS 111 course with the introduction of the properties of ideal gases and vapors and the development of the
1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics. The 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics are applied to simple gas and vapor power and refrigeration cycles. Students should be able to analyze and solve simple to complex thermodynamic problems
MAE 521 – Advanced Thermodynamics 1
Course Description:
MAE 521 Advanced Thermodynamics 1 will cover
Course Objectives:
MAE 721 – Fundamentals of Combustion
Course Description:
MAE 721 Fundamentals of Combustion will cover thermodynamics, chemical kinetics and diffusion of reacting gases; laminar and turbulent flames; flame stability and ignition, flashback, combustion dynamics, and emissions reduction.
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to master a number of concepts and priiici•)les, and how these are applied to particular problems in the areas of thermodynamics, chemical kinetics and diffusion of reacting gases; laminar and turbulent flames; flame stability and ignition.
MAE 731 – Fundamentals of Turbulent flow
Course Description:
This course presents the fundamentals of turbulent fluid flow, including a review of the derivation of all conservation laws, introduction to statistical methods including probability distribution functions and moments, Reynolds and ensemble averaging of the conservation equations, use of scaling and dimensional arguments, and simple closure models and their application to simple turbulent flows, including channel flow, linear shear flow, jets and wakes, and boundary layers.
Course Objectives:
At the end of this course, students will understand the fundamentals of turbulent fluid flow, including applications to simple turbulent flows including jets, wakes, and boundary layers. They will understand and be able to describe the basic features and phenomena in turbulent flows. They will become familiar with some of the basic experimental methods used to quantify and study turbulence. They also will understand the basis for simple closure models of turbulence, and will be able to use these to develop predictive solutions for flow fields of simple turbulent flows, including jets, wakes, and boundary layers. Students will gain experience in computing statistical measures of turbulent flow, including mean and RMS velocities, correlation coefficients, and spectra. They will gain experience in
reading papers from the turbulence research literature, and in summarizing and explaining the methods and results of such turbulence research papers.
