SYEN 5374 - Fluid Mechanics II

three hours lecture. three credit hours.

Prerequisite: SYEN 3374 or consent of instructor. The important features of compressible flows of ideal gas will be discussed with particular attention on the role of Mach number and speed of sound in the analysis. Characteristics of isentropic and non-isentropic flows including normal shock waves will be investigated. Turbomachines such as pumps, fans, compressors, and turbines will be introduced. The angular momentum equation will be used to analyze performance characteristics of these turbomachines. If taken at the 4000 level can not be taken at the 5000 level.
