Mechanical Engr Lab I

Catalog description

Experiments using the wind tunnel, engine test cell, mechanics laboratory, vibrations laboratory, fluids laboratory, refrigeration laboratory, and heat transfer laboratory are conducted. Students measure mechanical phenomena such as acceleration, force, pressure, temperature, strain, fluid flow, viscosity, and heat transfer using transducers, instrumentation, and PC-base data acquisition. Students design some of the experiments. Two two-hour laboratories per week. Prerequisite: EGME-2050 Computational Methods; EGEE-2050 Circuits and Instrumentation. Corequisite: EGME-3000 Intro to Mechanical Engineering Labs; EGME-3110 Thermodynamics; EGME-3210 Fluid Mechanics.
