Course Objective

The main objectives of this course are to gain an understanding of the integral form of the conservation laws for mass, momentum and energy, and the basic principles underlying the statics and dynamics of a fluid.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   At the completion of the subject, students should be able to : Solve problems related to the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics.
2   Analyse a control volume by developing fundamental principles such as the linear momentum equation and energy equation in the treatment of the control volume.
3   Apply Buckingham theorem to determine a suitable set of dimensionless parameters.
4   Compare fundamental Reynolds Number and fluid flow behaviour observation in pipe flow and analyse losses in piping system.
5   Understand the concept of boundary layer, flow separation and flow control.
