Chung
Office Hours:
Textbook: Fluid Mechanics, 4th Edition,
F.M.White
Fundamentals
of Heat & Mass Transfer, 4th Edition, Incropera
& DeWitt
Experimental Methods for Engineers, 7th
Edition, J.P.Holman
TA: Renqiang Xiong 
Office Hours:
Objectives: a.
Expose students to experimental acquisition and analysis of thermal-fluid
phenomena.
b. Provide an
opportunity for students to improve their technical writing skills.
c. Teach students various aspects
associated with design of experiments.
Outcomes: a.
Students will acquire laboratory skills including how to conduct an experiment
and
analyze and interpret data.
b. Students will
develop technical writing skills.
c. Students will
learn about some of the key aspects associated with the design of an
experiment.
Course The course consists of a sequence of five
laboratory experiments, each targeting a
Organization: different concept in thermal sciences. The students
perform these experiments under
the supervision of the instructor and then prepare
reports describing the experiment
and the analysis of data acquired from the experiment.
Two of these experiments are
conducted in an “open format” which
is intended to teach students some of the aspects
associated with the design of an
experiment.

|
Oral presentations |
Policies:
1) 15% each for 3 experimental
lab reports
20% each for 2 design lab report
15% for oral presentation
2) Lab reports are
due as specified on the attached schedule. There will be a 10%
deduction for each day (including weekends) the lab report is
overdue. If the report
is due on a day when there is no laboratory class
meeting, then it is due by
the mailbox in front of Dr. Chung’s office in 336 MAE-B.
3) Attendance for
lecture and lab is mandatory. If you have a valid reason for missing
a lab, talk to Dr. Chung in advance to schedule a makeup.
4)
To get a credit for a lab, you need to perform the experiment and turn in a lab report.
5)
Points will be taken off for sloppy work in reports. In extreme cases, reports
may be
returned ungraded.
6) Show up to
class on time. Turn off cell phones. No food and drinks. Shoes are to be
worn at all times while in the lab. You will not be
allowed to attend if our are not
wearing shoes.
7) Ear protection
must be worn when TA or instructor advises its use. You will be
required to leave the lab if you do not comply.
8) There will be
zero tolerance for academic dishonesty, which includes copying from
colleagues or copying from old solutions or reports. In
addition, the University
Academic Honesty
policy is in effect:
“All students admitted to the
academic honesty committing themselves to be
honest in all academic work and
understanding
that failure to comply with this commitment will result in disciplinary
action. This statement is a reminder to uphold
your obligation as a student at the
University
of
this class and all
others.”
