Homework No. 1a:
Assigned in week of Th, 1/15/04 (Due in one week):
(HW#1a due Th, 01/22/04):- Print our class Syllabus and Class/HW/Lab/Exam Policies, posted on my Web site, www.kostic.niu.edu , sign and bring it for our next class meeting. Read the syllabus and its relevant links very carefully, and clarify with me all your concerns and doubts during our next class meeting.
- Review Let's get acquainted-First Things First!*[PDF format is convenient for printing].
- Send me an email (kostic@niu.edu) with the subject line (exactly but without quotes, you may cut-and-paste): " MEE 540sp04 Student E-mail Contact ," and a 80-120 word free-assay by introducing yourself and expressing your expectations and concerns about the subject after reviewing the syllabus. This email has to be sent immediately so that I can get your email address (using your account you like to get responses to it) to make up email group list for our class, and be able to send you future class information via email (most of info will be also posted on our HW web page).
Homework No. 1b: Assigned in week of Th, 1/15/04 (Due in one week):
- Study thoroughly Chapter 1 (including examples) in our Text and be ready for a short Quiz our next class meeting. If you do not understand something, or have a different view or comment about something, submit it in writing before our next class meeting. I will answer all questions/comments before the Quiz starts. Review the Basic Engineering Science equations.
- Do odd numbered Fundamentals of Engineering Exam Problems: FE1.1, FE1.3, FE1.5, FE1.7, FE1.9, and Comprehensive Problem C1.2., from our Textbook, p.58.
- Study thoroughly the Kinematic Properties handout from "Viscous Fluid Flow," by F.M. White or another reference of your choice (see diagram or PPS) and prepare yourself for a brain-storming discussion and answering question for next class meeting. I would encourage you to read about the Fluid Flow Kinematics from other references you could find in library. If you show substantial knowledge you will get extra credit towards your final grade.
- Optional problem: Using the Navier-Stokes equations and neglecting the gravity force, derive the friction factor - Reynolds number relation (f=16/Re, where f=t w/(r V 2/2) and Re=r VD/h ) for the fully-developed laminar flow in a horizontal circular pipe.
