Apply mass, energy and momentum balances to hydrostatic and fluid flow problems.
CHAPTER 2: Fluid Statics
Students should be able to apply the basic equation of fluid statics in calculating forces on planar and curved surfaces that are submerged in a static fluid; to manometers; and to the determination of buoyancy and stability
CHAPTER 1: Basic Properties of Fluids
This chapter present the basic concepts commonly used in the analysis of fluid flow. This chapter is started with a discussion of the phases of matter, then some of important terminologies in fluid mechanics are defined. In the end of this chapter, numerous ways of classification of fluid flow are discussed
Fluid Mechanics (SETK2233)
The course will introduce the fundamental principles underlying fluid behaviour, hydraulics, hydrodynamics, internal and external flows and its analysis of engineering applications for the design of simple hydraulic components especially pump. The course covers the physics of fluid, classification of flow, fluid statics, fluid dynamics, the application of Bernoulli’s, continuity, and momentum equations, friction flow in pipes includes the use of Moody chart, flow metering, pump, dimensional analysis and similarity.
