Outcomes
- Operate and explain the function of typical mechanical systems, such as cam-follower systems and planetary gear trains.
- Measure and explain the effect of design parameters on system dynamics and performance, including the effect of cam profile on the dynamics of a cam-follower system and the effect of unbalance on the performance of a rotor.
- Calculate and measure the speed reduction and the efficiency of planetary gear systems, and to observe the effect of design configuration on the efficiency.
- Calculate heat transfer rate and temperature distribution in steady-state one-dimensional heat conduction problems.
- Calculate the rate of steady heat transfer in fins, and unsteady heat transfer in lumped-capacitance and semi-infinite solid problems.
- Explain the terms in the governing equations for convective heat and mass transfer.
- Estimate convective transfer rates on the basis of geometric and dynamic similarity, and analogy between different convective transport processes.
- Calculate heat and mass transfer rates in external and internal flows, including flat plates, cylinders, pipes, heat exchangers, and free convection at vertical surfaces.
- Apply the laws of radiation to compute heat transfer rates for surfaces, such as black bodies and diffuse gray surfaces, with appropriate approximations.
- Calculate and use the view factor for simple surface combinations, and the total emissivity for surfaces.
- Work in teams to conduct experiments effectively and efficiently.
- Compile, analyze and interpret collected experimental data and prepare technical reports.
