Description
The material in this course will provide the student with a fundamental background in the statics and dynamics of fluids. Introduction and basic concepts of fluid properties will be discussed. The basic conservation laws of mass, momentum and energy are analyzed in control volume. Properties of fluids, pressure and fluid statics will be focused. The student will learn how to choose the right formulation for fluid flow problems. The student will also learn fluid dynamics along with implementing Bernoulli, mass and energy equations, dimensional analysis with an emphasis on fluid behavior and know how to work with different frames of reference and use them to simplify problems. Real life applications of these fundamental concepts will be introduced in the lab. Interpretation of results from experiments of fluid flows will also be emphasized.Lecture 2 hrs/wk, Lab 2 hrs/wk.
