Thermo-Fluids Engineering II

ME 212 is the second half of mechanical engineering's introduction to moving fluids and moving energy, picking up where ME 211 left off to treat viscous flow and heat transfer as a single coupled framework rather than two separate subjects. You'll work through pipe-flow and boundary-layer problems, then carry the same control-volume reasoning into conduction, convection, and radiation, ending with heat exchanger sizing via LMTD and ε-NTU; labs and homework anchor the math to real hardware, with two midterms and a final testing whether you can pick the right model for a given geometry. Almost every downstream ME course — thermal systems design, HVAC, turbomachinery, propulsion — assumes you can compute a head loss and a heat transfer coefficient without thinking about it.
