Course Description
Learning Outcomes
Learning outcomes: The learners will be
- able to understand the fluid properties, classification of fluid and its application
- apply the basic equations of fluid statics to determine forces on planar and curved surfaces submerged in a static fluid; to manometers: to the determination of buoyancy and stability
- to know and use the concept of fluid kinematics, stream functions, velocity potentials and Laplace equation.
- to use Euler‘s and Bernoulli‘s equations and the conservation of mass to determine velocities, pressures and accelerations for fluids
- to perform dimensional analysis for problems in fluid mechanics.
- to apply the concepts to determine minor and major head losses for flows through pipes
- to apply the concept for design of simple pipe water distribution systems
Skills you will gain:
Fundamental knowledge on fluid property, application of important fluid property for understanding natural phenomenon, skill of hydrostatic pressure and its measurement, hydrostatic force on different submerged bodies and its application in design of hydraulic structures, pressure measurement using different types of manometers, understand, analyze and apply knowledge of buoyancy and floatation for design of floating objects.
