ANNOUNCEMENTS:
INSTRUCTOR: Javier Urzay, Ph.D.. Office: 206 CTR Building.
E-mail: jurzay@stanford.edu
LECTURES Tuesdays and Thursdays, 1:30 PM - 2:50 PM at 380-381T (Main Quad, Math corner). OFFICE HOURS Mondays 4:00-6:00 PM at 206 CTR Building. COURSE SYLLABUS (PDF Download) PREREQUISITES This course assumes previous basic knowledge in fluid mechanics. COURSE DESCRIPTION
Topics include quasi-one-dimensional isentropic flow in variable area ducts, normal shock waves, oblique shock and expansion waves, flow in ducts with friction and heat transfer, unsteady one-dimensional flow, and steady two-dimensional supersonic flow. REFERENCE TEXTBOOKS (not required) EXAMS Midterm Exam: Tuesday, May 10, in class.
Final Exam: Friday, June 3, 3:30-6:30 PM, location TBA.
Both exams will consist of two parts: i) Short Questions (closed books, closed notes, no calculator), and ii) Problems (open book and open notes, calculator allowed).
