Pre/Co-requisitesExperimentsLaboratory PreparationGradingi EML 4304 - Experiments in Thermal and Fluid Sciences Spring 2012, Sections 1-4 • To reinforce and enhance your understanding of the fundamentals of fluid mechanics and heat transfer learned in Thermal-Fluids I & II, EML 3015C and EML 3016C, respectively. The experiments are relatively simple; they are designed to demonstrate the applications of the basic fluid and thermal science principles and to provide a more intuitive and physical understanding of these disciplines. Objectives • To introduce a variety of modern and classical experimental and diagnostic techniques, and the principles behind these techniques. • To provide practice in making engineering judgments, estimates and assessing the reliability of your measurements; skills which are very important for any successful engineer. • To improve your oral and written communication skills through the lab reports and presentations. These will also provide you with experience in organizing, analyzing and interpreting engineering data. • To expose you to a group-learning environment by requiring you to work in student groups, much like the real world. Pre/Co-requisites You should have passed the following courses (and their prerequisites) with a C or better: EML 3012C (Mechanics and Materials II) and EML3015C (Thermal Fluids I). You should also be concurrently enrolled in EML3016C, Thermal Fluids II, this semester. It is a co-requisite for this class. If you have not fulfilled these pre/co-requisites, you are not prepared for this class and will be dropped from the course. Lecture TR 11:45 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. (all sections); Room B135 Lectures are not optional; you are expected to attend the lectures, on time. Lectures are designed to supplement the lab manual, which is available on t he Course Web Page, and to provide additional information so you may better understand and conduct the experiments. T hey are an integral part of the course and will give you a chance to ask questions and clarify concepts associated with the experiments. Additional topics related to experimental methods in thermal sciences will also be discussed. Since you are concurrently enrolled in EML 3016C, concepts covered in the experiments may not as yet have been introduced in EML 3016C. It is very important that you attend the lectures. Everything discussed in class will NOT be posted on the Web Pages. If you miss a lecture(s) you are still responsible for the material covered in class.

You should check the web page frequently, at least once every weekday for updates. Information available through the Web page includes: • The Lab Manual: Electronic version of the lab manual will be available on the Webii • Grades: Grades will be regularly posted and updated on the Web. • Announcements: Most, but not all announcements and updates for deadlines, tests, etc. will also be posted. Some will only be discussed in class • Supplemental Resources: E.g. notes and links to pertinent recourses. Required Text Laboratory Notes/Manual for EML 4304L. This is available on the Web Page. The manual may be updated throughout the semester. Additional handouts will be given in class or posted on the course Web Page as needed. References R. J. Goldstein, “Fluid Mechanics Measurements,” Fox & McDonald, “Introduction to Fluid Mechanics” Fourth or Fifth Ed., Wiley. Y. A. Cengel, Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer, McGraw-Hill Experiments You will conduct a total of eight experiments and participate in one or two demonstration labs. A lab report, presentation or a test will be required for most of the experiments; details will be discussed during the second week of the semester. One experiment will be performed each week, with the first experiment starting the third week of classes. Generally, there is ample time for you to complete the experiments within a lab period, provided that you are prepared and have read the lab manual before coming to the lab. • The class will be divided into lab groups of 4-5 students/lab-group where each group will perform one experiment/week. The instructor will assign members of each group during the first or second week of the semester. Once groups have been assigned they will work together the entire semester. • The experiments are divided into three sets; the first two sets have 4 experiments each and the last set has two. During a lab period four different groups conduct all experiments in a set simultaneously so that all the groups complete all experiments in a set in four weeks. The second set of experiments is then conducted for the next four weeks, and so on. Details of the group arrangement will be further discussed in class. Once the groups have been finalized, the schedule of experiments, according to the group numbers, will be posted on the web. Tentative Experiment Schedule* EXPERIMENT NO. TITLE SET NO.
