MANE-5100 Mechanical Engineering Foundations I (4000-level)
Course Description
A presentation of the principles of macroscopic transport
useful in the analysis of mechanical engineering systems. The course
covers the formulation of energy mass and momentum balances in continua;
the development of mathematical models of heat conduction and mass
diffusion in solids and of flow in ideal and Newtonian fluids. Models
are ilustrated using examples from mechanical engineering. Particular
attention throughout is devoted to the development of the ability to
create realistic and reliable models.
