Experiment and Practice in Mechanical Engineering3
This course as well as "Experiment in Mechanical Engineering" deals with several kinds of engineering experiments related
to the fundamental topics in the mechanical engineering fields (Mechanics of Materials, Hydrodynamics, Thermodynamics, Mechanical
Vibrations and Control Engineering). Students control experimental apparatuses by themselves and recognize the physical phenomena.
Students have to attend the first lecture. For reference, the themes conducted in 2019 are introduced as follows.

| (2) Measurement of boundary layer along a plate (Tsunoda) When a viscous fluid flows along a solid object, a narrow region in which the fluid velocity changes rapidly is formed adjacent to the solid surface. This region is called a boundary layer. The boundary layer which relates to mass and heat transfer between the fluid and the object is one of the important phenomena in fluid mechanics. In the present experiment, students will measure the velocity profiles in the boundary layer on a flat plate in a uniform flow and compare them with theoretical results. The aim of this experiment is to understand the concept of the boundary layer. |

| (3) Boiling heat transfer (Yahagi) Effective utilization of thermal energy is one of the important tasks of mechanical engineering. In order to use the thermal energy effectively, it is very important to know how heat is transferred. In this experiment, we will study a heat transfer mechanism by using the boiling heat transfer phenomena utilizing phase change. |

| (4) Measurement and control of DC motor characteristics (Uchimura) Many motors are used in the most advanced machines such as hybrid cars,robots and home electric appliances such as vacuum cleaners and washing machines. In order to realize the operation in the mechanical system using motors, control system considering the characteristics of the motor is indispensable. In this experiment, the operation principle of the DC motor and the physical law which combines electromagnetic force and mechanical force are studied. The characteristics of the control object are clarified by identifying various parameters related to the characteristics of the motor. In addition, the purpose is to experimentally learn the process which improves the speed response and steady deviation of the system by the gain design of the feedback controller. |

| (5) Ultrasonic characteristics and nondestructive inspection(Sakaue) Ultrasonic measurement is widely used for nondestructive inspection in engineering feild. In this experiment, the propagation characteristics of ultrasonic in solid material is theoretically studied and is confirmed by experimental measurement. Then, ultrasonic charactristics is applied to nondestractive inspection. |

| (6) Flow in pipe and friction loss (Suwa) In designing of fluid transport system, pumps should be properly selected based on the evaluation of friction loss head against flow. In this experiment, tube friction losses in circular tube in laminar, turbulent and transient region are measured, and the relation between the friction factor and the Reynolds number is studied. This relation is studied also theoretically. |

| (7) Hardenability of steels (Matsuo) Steel is the most important material in mechanical engineering. Mechanical properties of metals (including steel) can be improved by heat treatment. In this experiment, hardenability of few steels are compared by Jominy test. Through that, you will empirically understand that change in hardness, test methods, and so force. |

| (8) An introduction to numerical experiment (computer simulation) (Kawata) In the field of mechanical engineering, it is often the case that the governing equations (differential equations) of phenomena cannot be solved analytically, and instead, computers are used to find the solutions numerically. It is technically called ``numerical analysis'' or ``numerical simulation'' to find solutions of differential equations and thereby predict phenomena using computers. In this (numerical) experiment, students will learn the basics of such computer simulation through numerically solving simple mechanics problems such as free fall of an object and oscillation of a pendulum. |
