Meet USC: Admission Presentation, Campus Tour, and Engineering TalkWed, Oct 07, 2015
Viterbi School of Engineering Undergraduate Admission
Receptions & Special Events
This half day program is designed for prospective freshmen and family members. Meet USC includes an information session on the University and the Admission process, a student led walking tour of campus, and a meeting with us in the Viterbi School. During the engineering session we will discuss the curriculum, research opportunities, hands-on projects, entrepreneurial support programs, and other aspects of the engineering school. Meet USC is designed to answer all of your questions about USC, the application process, and financial aid.
Reservations are required for Meet USC. This program occurs twice, once at 8:30 a.m. and again at 12:30 p.m. Please make sure to check availability and register online for the session you wish to attend. Also, remember to list an Engineering major as your "intended major" on the webform!Location: Ronald Tutor Campus Center (TCC) - USC Admission Office

Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Seminar Series

Speaker: Forman Williams, Professor Emeritus of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California at San Diego
Talk Title: Quasi-Steady Combustion of Normal Alkane Droplets Supported by Cool-Flame Chemistry
Series: Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Seminar Series
Abstract: Combustion of liquid fuel droplets in gaseous oxidizing atmospheres has been studied thoroughly for more than 60 years because of interest in applications related to liquid-fuel propulsion. Idealized models of droplet combustion impose spherical symmetry to simplify the equations and contribute to understanding. In both theory and experiment, because of the small ratio of gas to liquid density the gas-phase equations are quasi-steady, with fuel and oxygen forming equilibrium products and releasing heat at a hot spherical flame. Microgravity experiments enable spherically symmetrical droplet combustion to be investigated for larger droplets that experience longer burning times. Nearly 5 years ago, experiments employing normal alkane droplets initially 3 or 4 mm in diameter, burning in air, performed in the International Space Station, revealed a different mode of combustion in which quasi-steady burning was supported not by hot-flame chemistry but rather by cool-flame chemistry, involving only partial burning of the fuel and oxygen and not producing equilibrium products. Cool flames, first named that in 1934 and thought to be responsible for the will o' the wisp, are fleeting blue flames caused by the same chemistry that produces two-stage ignition processes, which are being studied for potential applications in RCCI engines. The seminar will contrast hot-flame and cool-flame chemistry and describe current experimental and theoretical efforts to improve understanding of quasi-steady droplet combustion supported by cool-flame chemistry.
Biography: Dr. Forman A. Williams is a Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Engineering Physics and Combustion (2015-present) in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at University of California, San Diego. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a Foreign Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Engineering of Mexico. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the American Physical Society, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. Among his numerous honors, Prof. Williams has been awarded the Silver and the Bernard Lewis Gold Medal of The Combustion Institute, as well as the prestigious AIAA Propellants and Combustion Award. He has authored more than 400 publications, including textbook Combustion Theory. His research focus is on flame theory, asymptotic analysis, combustion in turbulent flows, fire research, reactions in boundary layers, and other areas of combustion and fluid mechanics.

Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard Information Session
Wed, Oct 07, 2015 @ 05:30 PM - 06:30 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Career Connections
Workshops & Infosessions
Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and IMF (PHNSY & IMF), the largest industrial employer in the State of Hawaii with over 5000 civilian and military employees, is in the business of repairing and modernizing naval ships and submarines. Our engineers, from a variety of disciplines, are involved in the planning and supervision of the highly challenging work of providing technical guidance through written work procedures and on-the-job direction of the workforce. On a day-to-day basis, our engineers spend their time working onboard submarines or surface ships and working in an office setting. PHNSY & IMF is looking for energetic self-motivated engineers to join the select group of men and women in our various Engineering Departments. We offer competitive pay, generous vacation benefits, paid overtime, excellent retirement system and federal health benefits.
