Spring 2025 LectureThe fundamentals of statistical mechanics, kinetic theory, and molecular spectroscopy will be taught in order to predict and characterize the behavior of non-equilibrium gases using optical and laser diagnostics. This material will be taught within the context of applications involving combustion, plasmas, propulsion, energetic materials, shock waves and laser radiation. Pre-requisite: Thermodynamics I, ME 20000 or Heat Transfer 1, ME 31500 or Chemistry 1, CHM 12500.
Course ME 617 from Purdue University - West Lafayette.
