    Course Contents

    This course will provide the student with an overview of key fluid mechanics topics. These topics include fluid properties and pressure measurements. It also covers the flow of fluids, Bernoulli's equation, the general energy equation, Reynolds’s number, laminar and turbulent flow, major and minor energy losses. The course also covers calculations for fluid flow systems and their classes. This course will introduce students to the fundamentals of pump selection and applications.

    Course Learning Outcomes (CLO's):

    1. Identify and solve fluid mechanic problems including pressure measurements, continuity equation, and Bernoulli’s equation.
    2. Identify and solve fluid mechanic problems including general energy equations and energy losses calculations.
    3. Formulate and solve fluid mechanic problems related to pump selection and pipeline sizing.
    4. Apply engineering design for single pipeline and simple combination of pipes and pumping system to produce solutions that meet specified needs.

  • Welcome Message

    Dear students,

    First, I would like to welcome you all to the course of "Fluid Mechanics". 

    Second, I would like to announce that we will effectively commence the learning process through on-campus classes and online through Zoom (once needed), on Monday, January 30th, 2023. We will be having announcements, discussion forums, and assignments for each topic on Moodle. Never hesitate to add a comment and/or add your query through the messages icon on Moodle.

    Let the journey begin and let us enjoy it!!

    Stay tuned and kindly notify all your peers.
