The course should enable the student to:
- Understand the basic laws and the principles that govern the behavior of fluids .
- Perceive the basic concept of ideal and real fluids.
- Realize the similarity between model and prototype.
- Model and analyze a common fluid engineering problems.
- Lay the ground for various courses related to fluid mechanics aspects.
|
Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to:
- Grasp the concepts of a fluid and basic flow analysis techniques.
- Deal with continuity and Bernoulli's equations in various fluid flow problems
- Treat fluid flow in pipe network with full consideration of pipe losses.
- Interpret the fluid pressure variation in stati's and dynamic situations.
- Estimate the fluid forces on surfaces and submerged bodies.
- Apply effectively energy and linear momentum equations in fluid flow.
- Distinguish between laminar and turbulent flow.
- Carry out fluid flow measurements< such as pressure, speed, flow rate and be familiarized with the relevant measuring devices, transducers and measurement techniques
- Perform experimental work including hydrostatic force on surfaces, flow of fluid through pipes and other topics related to the applications of fluid mechanics in mechanical engineering.
