MECHANICAL ENGINEERING.
800. Elementary Steam Engineering. [Hancock.]
12-1, T. Th. S.
A study of fuels and the design and construction of steam boilers, furnaces,
chimneys, superheaters, feed-water heaters, economizers, steam engines,
steam turbines, condensers, feed-pumps and injectors. Weekly
problems for private solution. (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, M. W. F.
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, M. W. F.
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, T. Th. S.
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, T. Th. S.
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, M. W. F.
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, T. Th. S.
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.)
