Description

Fluid Properties; Fluid Statics; Control Volume Analysis; Mass, Momentum, and Energy Equations; Bernoulli Equation and Applications; Boundary Layer Concept; Pipe Flows and Losses; First and Second Law of Thermodynamics; Evaluation of Thermodynamic Properties; Ideal and Real Gases; Condensable Substances; Heat Transfer Modes; Electrical Analogy.

The intention of this course is to lay the foundation in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer for two courses in Second Professional Year dedicated specifically to fluid mechanics and thermal engineering. This will allow students to master fundamentals before moving on to more challenging topics. This course will also be self-contained and provide sufficient engineering background to students from other programs not pursuing these disciplines any further.
