ENME 4070 - Gas Dynamics

(3) Credit Hours

In this course students will become familiar with the applications of compressible gas dynamics in the area of high-speed flight, jet engines, rockets, ramjets, pipe flow, and heat transfer at high speeds. Treatment of the course material is be based on a combination of physical reasoning, theoretical analysis, and empirical results. Topics covered include flow in nozzles and diffusers, normal shocks, frictional flows, flows with heat transfer or energy release, and an introduction to oblique shocks. Fall semester. Lecture 3 hours. Prerequisites: ENCH 3030/ENME 3030, ENME 3070 with minimum grades of C or department head approval. Differential course fee will be assessed.
