Comprehensive experiments in fluid dynamics, acoustics, heat transfer, power systems, and dynamic mechanical systems. Preparation of test procedure, data analysis, presentation of results and conclusions. The objectives of this course are: to permit the students to test the theoretical knowledge gained in the junior year courses in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and thermo-dynamics; to estimate and to verify the sources of experimental error; and to gain hands-on experience with at least some mechanical and fluid systems and instruments Fourteen weeks, one three-hour lab period per week. Report required for each experiment by every individual student. - Materials testing. - Perform basic tensile test on four unknown alloys. - Use results to classify alloys. Identify probable heat treatments for each alloy. - Steam turbine. Operate a steam turbine at different loads and measure its efficiency. - Perform an energy balance on the system and discuss results. - Air conditioning. Evaluate the performance of a commercial air conditioning unit by making multiple    measurements at several locations in the loop. - Observe the change in performance due to changes in operating parameters. - Momentum deficit behind a cylinder. - Use hot film probe to measure velocity profiles behind a cylinder in a wind tunnel. - Estimate drag coefficient and wake growth from the profiles. - Internal combustion engine. Conduct engine performance test to measure power output at difference loads    and speeds. - Learn how to process data to find results including efficiency. - Forced convection. - Measure Stanton and Nusselt numbers. Measure friction factor. - Use standard equations to compute those values. - Compare results and discuss discrepancies. Compare Sider-Tate and Colburn relations.
