Full course description
This course introduces students to various topics in fluid mechanics and Heat Transfer , such as Fluid properties, kinematics, fluid statics, Bernoulli equation, control volume; differential forms of the fundamental laws, dimensional analysis, similitude and fluid/flow phenomena. Flow over immersed bodies, viscous flow in pipes, compressible flow, etc. This course also includes thermal thermal energy transfer between materials due to a temperature difference. It involves heat propagation through solids and fluids, or can take place through a vacuum. The objective of this course is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the underlying physical mechanism of heat transfer and techniques for analyzing heat transfer in engineering systems.
The course is suitable for students with previous backgrounds in mathematics, computing, or other engineering disciplines but seek to develop knowledge of mechanical engineering. Completing this course, along with a sufficient GPA and meeting the other requirements, can qualify students for admission to the MSE in Mechanical Engineering at the College of Innovation & Technology, University of Michigan-Flint.
Students will receive a certificate of completion if they pass the course with a 70% total score on all course homework, quizzes, and tests.
