Course Objectives ME 438 aims to get the seniors with the mechanical engineering familiar with transmission and distribution pipelines for both liquid and gas systems. It is mainly a fluid mechanics applications course, but materials, mechanical considerations, design, constructional and economic aspects are also emphasized.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Students are expected to be familiar with transmission and distribution pipelines, materials for pipelines, design constructional and economic aspects of pipelines, pipeline components, pump and compressor relations.
  • Economic strategic, constructive and operational aspects of design. construction, operation, control of pipelines are also of concern.
