Conservation & Acct Princ

Catalog description

Section information text: A common framework for engineering analysis is developed using the concepts of a system, accounting and conservation of extensive properties, constitutive relations, constraints, and modeling assumptions. Conservation equations for mass, charge, momentum and energy, and an entropy accounting equation are developed. Applications taken from all engineering disciplines stress constructing solutions from basic principles. Students may not receive credit towards graduation for both ES 201 and BE 132.
