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.
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 fluidsDevelop and use integral relations to solve flow problemsUse the differential equations representing conservation of mass, momentum, and energy to evaluate simple flowsDevelop dimensionless groups and apply dimensional analysisDetermine the frictional, and evaluate minor losses in pipe systemsEvaluate 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.
