Objectives of the Course

This is an introductory study of fluid mechanics for engineering majors. The conservation principles, which form the basis of the study of fluid mechanics, will be introduced and used to develop methods of analysis for relatively simple flow systems.

Course Content

Definition of fluid and its properties, fluid statics, pressure and its measurement, fluid kinematics, physical laws governing fluid flow, dimensional analysis and modeling, internal pipe flow and pump selection, external flow, lift and drag

Name of Lecturer(s)
Assoc. Prof. Mustafa ASKER
Learning Outcomes
1.Understand the basic concept of fluid and general terminology about it.
2.Understands the behavior of a fluid in a static condition
3.Understands how to apply the Bernoulli law to a fluid. Can create a relation between the fluid and energy. Able to develop the equations of fluid flow in a differential or integral form and solves elementary fluid problems
4.Can analyze the momentum of fluid systems
5.Determines the losses in a pipeline and can select a pump for the system. Knows the basic characteristics of a laminar/turbulent flow
