MECHANICAL ENGINEERING.
800. Elementary Steam Engineering. [Hancock.]
12-1, T. Th. S.
A study of methods employed and elementary scientific principles involved in
the production of heat and power from the combustion of fuels. Lectures, assigned
reading, analysis and design of familiar apparatus, and study of local
heating and power installations. (Fall.)
801. Steam Power Plants. [Hancock.]
12-1, T. Th. S.
The economic design and operation of steam power plants. The subject is
treated in lectures with assigned reading. Each student is expected to produce
during the term a complete design of a plant to satisfy assumed conditions.
(Winter.)
802. Machine Design. [Hancock.]
12-1, T. Th. S.
A study of machines including the motion problem, the force problem, selection
of materials, determination of form and size of parts, lubrication, sketches
and specifications, working drawings. Assigned problems in design. (Spring.)
803. Internal Combustion Engines. [Hancock.]
10-11, T. Th. S.
A study of the thermal problems of internal combustion engines, gas producers,
air compressors and motors and hot air engines. Weekly exercises and
problems in design. (Winter.)
804. Steam Engines and Steam Turbines. [Hancock.]
10-11, T. Th. S.
A study of the thermal problems of steam engines, steam turbines and refrigerating
machinery. Weekly exercises and problems in design. (Spring.)
805. Engine Design. [Hancock.]
10-11, M. W. F.
A study of the mechanical problems involved in the design of machines discussed
in the two previous courses; inertia effects, stresses, strength of parts,
balancing, governing, etc. Weekly exercises and problems. (Spring.)
806. Kinematics of Machines. [Hancock.]
10-11, M. W. F.
A study of relative motions, velocities and accelerations in machine parts.
Assigned reading of recognized authorities and problems for solution on the
drawing board. (Fall.)
808. Thermodynamics. [Hoxton.]
10-11, T. Th. S.
A study of the basic laws with such applications to the properties of gases
and vapors and to thermodynamic appliances as are sufficient for the purposes of
illustration. A number of problems are solved. (Fall.)
809. Automobile Construction. [Hancock.]
10-11, M. W. F.
A study of the mechanical design of automobiles. Lectures and assigned
reading of the recognized authorities. (Winter.)
859. Automobile Laboratory. [Hancock and Assistant.]
6 hours a week.
This course supplements 809, and is devoted to the testing and work upon
automobiles. (Winter.)
