Course Objectives The aim of this course is to develop an understanding of the characteristics of fluids, to teach the principles of fluid mechanics, analysis and modeling of fluid flow in closed systems, as well as the conservation principles of momentum, mass and mechanical energy.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Identify the key fluid properties used in the analysis of fluid behavior.
  • Calculate the hydrostatic pressure force on surfaces.
  • Determine pressure variations in fluid motion by using Bernoulli’s equation.
  • Analyze fluid motion by using conservation laws of momentum, mass and mechanical energy.
  • Explain the type of fluid-flow and losses due to viscous flow in pipes.
  • Formulate a mathematical description of a simple fluid-flow system.
Course Description This course covers the fundamental concepts of fluid mechanics, properties of fluids, hydrostatic pressure force on plane and curved surfaces, pressure changes in fluid movement, the Bernoulli's equation, momentum, mass and energy balances, dimensional analysis, viscous flow in pipes, laminar and turbulent flows, and major and minor losses.
