Description

This course considers the fundamental concept of fluid mechanics with an introduction to the fundamental conservation equations (in integral and differential forms). The course objective is to give the students the necessary theoretical understanding to analyse and solve complex engineering problems in fluid systems. Applications to a variety of topics are provided including fluid statics, experimental similitude, pipe systems, and turbo machinery.

Learning Outcomes

  • Students will demonstrate specialist knowledge and skills through analysis of complex fluids problems in the context of the field of mechanical engineering.

  • Analyze pressure distributions in static fluids
  • Develop and use integral relations to solve flow problems
  • Use the differential equations representing conservation of mass, momentum, and energy to evaluate simple flows
  • Develop dimensionless groups and apply dimensional analysis
  • Determine the frictional, and evaluate minor losses in pipe systems
  • Evaluate the performance of pumps and fans and select suitable pumps for given applications
  • Develop equations to flow over a flat  plate, predict flow separation, and determine the drag and lift forces on bodies.
