MET 3190 - Fluid Mechanics II

Credits: 3 (2 + 2)

Prerequisite(s): MET 3110 and MET 3180 with grades of “C” or better

Description: This course covers the study of compressible internal flow with application to industrial, pneumatic systems. The study of isentropic, isothermal and flow of real gases is applied for nozzles, venturis, Pitot-tubes, and pipe systems. Flow loss calculations are made using the Darcy-Weisbach and Fanno Line techniques. Compressors, valves, ejectors, diffusers, and pneumatic components are studied to design and cost air service systems. The laboratory work supports lectures using various gas flow systems, including an instrumented fan test rig.
