CE Fluid Mechanics, Required course

Transcription

1 CE Fluid Mechanics, Required course Catalog Description: Study of behavior of viscous and non-viscous fluids at rest and in motion through development and application of the principles of fluid statics, continuity, energy, momentum, similitude, and dimensional analysis. Applications include flow in open and closed conduits, the boundary layer, dynamics of drag and measurement of velocity and discharge. 3 hr/wk; 3 cr Pre-requisites: [Pre] CE (min grade of C), CSc 10200; [Pre or Co] Math (min grade of C) Textbooks: Munson, Young, and Okiishi, Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics 6 th Ed., Wiley, 2009, ISBN References: Crowe, Elger, and Roberson, Engineering Fluid Mechanics 8 th ed., Wiley, Smits, A Physical Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, Wiley, Course Learning Outcomes: By the end of this class, the student should be able to: 1. Describe general trends in fluid properties, as they vary with depth or temperature [a] 2. Draw free body diagrams on fluid elements to show the magnitude and direction of forces acting on submerged surfaces [a] 3. Determine the pressure exerted by a fluid (compressible and incompressible) on a submerged object, and the location and magnitude of the resultant force of the fluid on the object [e] 4. Determine the magnitude of unknown forces in a system, using force and moment balances [e] 5. Identify the most appropriate control volume for a fluid system, and the direction of flows of mass, momentum and energy into and out of the control volume [e] 6. Use the control volume approach to determine the velocity, flowrate, mass, force or energy within a system [e] 7. Develop an experiment to measure fluid properties in a actual environmental problem [b,e,g] 8.

2 Homework Seminars Project Exams Extra credit The problem sets are intended to help you to practice the essential concepts and prepare you for the exams, and I do my best to keep the problem sets as short as possible. You will have a problem set due every week. Your lowest grade will be dropped. The problems will be posted to Blackboard in the assignments folder the week before they are due, and are due by 5pm in my office. You can me your assignment to show me you completed it in time, as long as you also submit a hardcopy of it by 5pm the next day. Solutions will be posted in the glass case near Steinman T-165. I will not post solutions to Blackboard, so please plan to check them out in the glass case before they are taken down to make way for new assignments (usually around 2 weeks). Problems should be stapled in the order given in the assignment. No spiral paper accepted. The articles and seminars are intended to help you see how fluid mechanics plays a role in the real world. You can earn these points by either 1) attending and reviewing a Podwal seminar on NY/global issues or 2) reviewing an article from a reputable source (ex. New York Times, New York Post). If you cannot attend any of the seminars because of a class or work conflict, you should plan to earn these points by reviewing articles instead. Seminars reviews are due a week after they take place. Seminars will be announced on Blackboard as they come up. To get full credit, sign in with me at the beginning of the seminar. One week later by 5pm, submit a hardcopy of your 1-page summary of the seminar and a few sentences about how it relates to any class concepts. Article reviews are due on the last day our class meets, but you can turn them in sooner. To get full credit, submit a hardcopy of the article and a 1-page review of it with the full citation, a summary of the article, and a few sentences about how it relates to class concepts. The group project is intended to relate class concepts to the real world, and give you practice to improve some of your professional skills, namely, writing and presenting engineering reports and working in groups. In this project, you will develop a velocity profile for flow in a real channel using real data. Details will be posted to Blackboard. Midterm exams will test you on new material since the prior exam, but the final exam will be cumulative. All exams are closed notes and closed book, and you will be provided necessary equations and data. To boost your confidence, you may bring in one 8.5x11 page of notes. Study guidelines and practice problems will be posted to Blackboard. Optional! Write a 5 page paper on a topic related to our class. Details posted to Blackboard. Course policies Plagiarism Lateness Missed exams Assignments or exams that are plagiarized will be given 0%. Guidance on how to properly cite information is posted to Blackboard. If you are unable to submit an assignment on time, plan to submit it early. Assignments turned in late but before 10am the next day will be downgraded 10%. Those turned in later than this will get 0%, since solutions will already be posted. Provided you have a good excuse, you may miss one exam. No makeup exams will be given. Instead, your other exams will be weighted more heavily.
