Software

Algor is available, this is a finite element program for solving problems in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer in fluids and solids. MATLAB PDE Toolbox can solve partial differential equations representing 2-d (and 3-d axisymmetric) heat conduction and diffusion, as well as heat and mass transfer in convective flows.

Projects

 LIST OF SUGGESTED PROJECTS
 for MEAM 665
 Spring 1999

A. Introduction

A list of possible projects is given below, but other projects may be proposed by the students.  Project selection must be completed by 16 February 1999.   The final report is due on 26 April 1999.  NO TIME EXTENSIONS WILL BE GIVEN OTHER THAN FOR DOCUMENTED MEDICAL PROBLEMS OR MILITARY SERVICE.

The final report should be written in a clear manner, have a table of contents, a detailed
reference list of the publications that you have read and quoted in the report, good graphics of
the system and results, a virus-free (please check) diskette or email attachment of the program
you have developed, and its annotated printout, with clear instructions so I can run it during the
evaluation.

The project grade would be based on:
(1)  Comprehensiveness of the background review:  20%
(2)  Description of the specific subject of analysis:  10%
(3)  Quality of the computational/analytical model:  28%
(4)  Scope and validity of the calculated results:  27%
(5)  Discussion of the results, and conclusions:  15%
 

B. Suggested projects (once the projects are chosen by students, a more detailed  description will be provided)

1.The feasibility of an externally mounted temperature sensor for measuring temperature of flowing fluid inside a conduit:  Muto.

2. The effects of temperature boundary conditions and upstream turbulnce levels on turbulent flow of air (with temperature-dependnent properties) inside a circular conduit, using a 2-equation turbulence model for laminar, transition and turbulent conditions: Xiong.

3.  Model and solve for the performance and efficiency of heat-transfer enhancing thin helical cylindrical fins wrapped around a fluid-conducting pipe in cross flow: Quinones.

4.  Flow and heat&mass transfer in membrane distillation: Al-Klaibi

5.  Heat and mass transfer across a desiccant in a humid air stream
