also see if I'm in my office, EBUII 574: if I'm not busy, I should
be able to talk. TA: Asheesh Anand (asanand@eng.ucsd.edu), meeting
hours: contact (e-mail, Piazza, etc.) to make an appointment;

Fundamentals of fluid mechanics by Munson, Okiishi, Huebsch and
Rothmayer, 8th edition, Wiley. Link
to library.
Homework policy: you may discuss problems
among yourselves, but you should write up and hand in homework
individually. Homework should be handed in during class on
Wednesday or ahead of time to the TA if you have made
arrangements. No
late homework will be accepted.
Work should be single-sided on new clean paper, stapled together.
Print name, date, course and homework number on the first page;
box final answers, especially for problems with multiple parts.
Illegible homework will be returned ungraded. Solutions will be
placed on the website after the due date.
Here is a suggested standard format (sample solution).
Problem Description. Basic description and given information.
Sketch of problem/geometry and system considered (dashed lines
for system). Initial state (knowns and unknowns). Final state
(knowns and unknowns). Appropriate property diagrams (state
points, process lines). What is to be determined.
Engineering Model. List all required simplifying assumptions
and idealizations.
Basic Equations. General form of all relevant fundamental
laws, equations, definitions.
Analysis. Clear description of procedure to reduce basic
equations to solution. Keep equations in variable forms as long
as possible before using numbers. Identify all tables and charts
needed for additional data and property values. Clearly indicate
final answers with box. Check solution: correct sign, reasonable
numerical values?
Discussion of Solution. As needed (what you learned, key
aspects of solution, etc...)
I do not insist on the entire format's being used: in
particular sketching the problem and writing down given
information will not lead to points. However you should use an
equally clear format.
Grades will be determined by your understanding of
the problem, identification of the procedure to obtain the solution,
clear and precise description of the solution, and correct numerical
answers. Solutions
are on Canvas.
Requests for regrades must be submitted in writing to me within a
week of getting the homework back, with a justification for the
regrade. Include name, date, e-mail address.
Quizzes
There will be four 50-minute quizzes. There will be no make-up
quizzes. All quizzes are closed book. Bring pencil and calculator to
all exams.
There will be one open-note midterm on Wednesday February 12. There
will be no make-up midterm. Bring pencil, calculator and paper. The
midterm will cover all the material lectured up to and including
Friday February 8. Solution
on Canvas.
Final
The final will be on Monday March 16, 8:00 am–10:59 am. A make-up
exam will only be provided for medical reasons with proper
documentation from a physician. The final will cover the material
lectured during the course and will be open book. Exam and solution on
Canvas.
Update
The exam time remains Monday 8 to 11 am.
I will send the exam to you by email 5 to 10 minutes before 8 am.
I will have a zoom session open from 8 to 11 am (I already sent
out the invitation). You don't have to be on it, but that way you
can hear questions, answers or read them on chat. You don't have
to have your video on.
You will sign an integrity statement on the exam, saying you
worked on your own using the allowed resources. This is an open
book exam: you can use the book, your notes, homeworks. No extra
information from the internet.
I will give you 15 minutes from 11 to 1115 to photograph or scan
your exam and send it to me. Note that Dropbox does quite a job of
scanning paper using your phone camera.
If you like, you can then hand in the exam physically to me in my
office EBU II 574 over the next 24 hours, say by noon on Tuesday.
(That woud suit me and avoid using more paper, but is optional.)
Grading
Method A: Curve based on: Homework 10%, 3 best of 4 quizzes 15%,
midterm 30%, final 45%.
Method B: Absolute scale based on final: A > 80%, B > 70%, C
> 55%, D > 40%.
Your grade will be computed by methods A and B and you will receive
the higher of the two. I may rescale the different components
(homework, quizzes, final) separately to arrive at the final grade.
I do not recommend planning on Method B from the beginning; method A
is more reliable.
Cheating
I remind you of UCSD's policy
on academic dishonesty. Action will be taken in cases of cheating. Don't
make it happen to you.
