Here is a useful combustion tool developed by my collaborator; Dr. Shubham Srivastava (from Rheem Water Heating) that is used in our lab.

This combustion simulator is useful for studying a mixture of reacting flows. Contact Dr. Shubham Srivastava for ​access and copyright.

2. Engineering Analysis and Methods MAE3013

Setup and solution of equations which govern mechanical engineering systems. Application and solution of the governing equations to describe the steady state or transient behavior of dynamics, mechanics and circuit problems. Linear sets of equations, ODEs will be used to describe systems. Solutions may be simplified using complex numbers of Fourier/Laplace transforms. Numerical methods for solutions will be covered. Data analysis, quality control and statistical hypothesis testing will be covered. Prerequisite(s): A grade of “C” or higher in PHYS 2114 and MATH 2233.

3. Heat Transfer MAE3233

Mechanisms of heat transfer. Steady and transient conduction, free and forced convection, heat exchanger design and analysis, radiation and multiphase behavior. Numerical methods, dimensional analysis and boundary layer theory. Prerequisite(s): A grade of "C" or higher in ENSC 3233.

4. Compressible Flow MAE3293

Basic equations of compressible flow. Nozzle and duct flows with friction and heat transfer, choking, normal and oblique shock waves, Prandtl-Meyer expansions, compressible flow over airfoils. Prerequisite(s): A grade of “C” or higher in ENSC 2213 and ENSC 3233 and MATH 2233.
