CHEMICAL EMISSIONS
AIRCRAFT NOISE
F-15
Lift due to imbalance of pressure distribution over top and bottom surfaces of
wing
If pressure on top is lower than pressure on bottom surface, lift is generated
Why is pressure lower on top surface?

SUPERSONIC FLOW
Can you fly faster than the speed of sound, HOW?
What can happen in supersonic flows?
Supersonic flows (M > 1) are qualitatively and quantitatively different
from subsonic flows (M < 1)
Nozzle
Fan
Turbine
Inlet
Combustor

ConvergingDiverging shape is
ONLY way to
accelerate a sub-sonic
flow to super sonic
velocities!
MS Word (1 Lecture)
Introduction of basic and higher order functions
Automatic generation of table of contents, lists of figures and tables
Spell and grammar check
Headers and footnotes
MS Excel (1 Lecture)
Introduction to spreadsheet analysis
Introduction of basic and higher order functions
Freezing rows and columns, goal seek, generating plots
CADPROFESSIONAL EXAMPLES
EXAMPLES
Useful throughout time at FIT, especially Junior and Senior Design Projects
Knowledge of how various components are made design process
Basic Machine Shop Training (6 sessions)
Shop Safety
Drawing and Manufacturing
Precision Instruments
Cutting Tools, Milling Machine, Saws, Welding, Lathe, Hand Tools, etc.
LABORATORIES OVERVIEW
A wind tunnel is a ground-based experimental facility used to produce air
flow to study flight of airplanes, missiles, space vehicles, etc.
Many different types of wind tunnels
Subsonic, transonic, supersonic, hypersonic
TEAM PROJECT
GOAL: Launch and recover student designed,
Built, and tested rockets to a given altitude
FREE ADVICE
Doing all homework, participating in team project, attending every lab, and taking
every concept quiz will probably get you a B
Exams follow closely from lecture concepts, homework and text reading
Exams are open book and notes
Exams are rather lengthy and challenging
OTHER ADVICE
The difference between a 3.01 GPA and a 2.98 GPA is much larger than the difference
between a 3.2 and 3.5 GPA
3.01 GPA grad school, completely paid for = yes!
2.98 GPA grad school = bye bye, good luck not finding a job!
