NUCL 350 Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics - I (Fluid Dynamics)

Fall 2002

 

Instructor:      Professor S. T. Revankar       Office: NUCL 132E, Phone: 496-1782

Office Hours: 9:30 am-10:20 am – Monday, Wednesday and Friday or by appointment

 

Class Room:  GRIS 276, MWF 8:30-9:20am

 

Text:   "Introduction to Fluid Mechanics," Fifth Edition, Fox, Robert W. and McDonald, Alan T John Wiley & Sons Inc. (1998)

 

Attendance:   Since class discussion is a major course ingredient, regular attendance is mandatory. Attendance record will be taken into consideration in any borderline grade decisions.

 

Homework:    Homework will be assigned at least one week in advance and will be due at the beginning of the Monday class period, unless specified otherwise. All handwritten homework will be completed on engineering quadrille paper using the attached sample format. The work must be legible, neat, and in H-B pencil. Be sure that your name, date, set number, and appropriate page number, in accordance with the attached format, are included on all sheets. Computer output is acceptable for programs, numeric output, and graphical results. Homework may be completed using MATHCAD or other such software. When such tools are used the problem statement, assumptions, and solution approach should be organized in a manner similar to the hand written example attached.

 

Team Design Project: A fluid system design problem will be assigned to a each team made of 3-4 students after the second hour exam and each team members will be expected to orally present and produce a complete engineering report documenting the work on this project. The format and further instructions for the project will be provided when the problem is assigned. The report will be due the last day of class before finals week.

 

Homework and the Design Project report will be graded based on neatness and format (10%), clarity of presentation (20%), correctness of approach (50%), right answer or reasonable conclusions (20%).

 

Course Grading:       Hour exams (3)                       45%

                                    Homework                              25%

                                    Design Project                        10%

                                    Final exam                              20%

 

Final Grade Scale:    A = 85-100; B = 75-84; C = 65-74; D = 55-64; F < 55
