SYEN 4374 - Fluid Mechanics II

Three credit hours.

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.
