The objective of this course is to provide students with a solid grounding in the classical and modern theories of convective heat and fluid flows. The emphasis is on both the laminar and turbulent boundary-layer heat and fluid flows. During the course laminar and turbulent heat transfer for flow in ducts will be discussed and the foundation of statistical theory of turbulence will be examined. Also, the problem of turbulent boundary layer flow over a flat plate in the presence of heat transfer will be described. Finally, the problem of heat transfer by natural convection for both laminar and turbulent boundary layer flow over a vertical hot wall will be described.

MCLE572 THEORY OF MACHINES (3, 0) 3,    ECTS: 8

The
course presents the basic mathematical theory of machines and focuses on the
principles of analysis and design of mechanisms and machines; together with
kinematic and dynamic analysis of linkages, gearing and gear train analysis.
The course coverage includes: Introduction to basic concepts; degree of
freedom, Grübler’s equation, classification of mechanisms; kinematic inversion,
enumeration; joint variables, loop closure equations; position, velocity and acceleration
analysis of mechanisms by graphical and analytical methods; four link
mechanisms; Grashof’s Rule, dead center positions, transmission angle,
mechanical advantage, body guidance, two and three position synthesis; 
slider-crank mechanism; gears, simple and planetary gear trains; static and
dynamic force analysis. Students are required to complete and present a real
life design project and submit a formal project report.
