Course Description: FLUID MECHANICS

This course will provide the student with a basic understanding of fluid properties, fluid statics and
dynamics, and fluid flow. The flow of incompressible fluids in pressure systems constitutes the major
portion of this course. Fluid measurement is covered both in the lecture and the laboratory portion of the
course.
Learning Outcomes:
The successful student should consistently be able to:

1. Calculate mass density, specific weight and specific gravity.


2. Express absolute viscosity as a constant of proportionality relating shear stress and rate of shear strain
in a fluid.
3. Complete kinematic viscosity given the density and absolute viscosity of the fluid.
4. Describe various methods used to determine viscosity.
5. Use data from these methods to calculate viscosity.
6. Determine from graphs and tables the viscosity of a given fluid at a given working temperature.
7. Determine gauge and absolute pressure.
8. Use a deadweight gage to calibrate a bourdon type pressure gage.
9. Apply the relationships between pressure and depth.
10. Compute pressure differences for multi-fluid manometer systems.
11. Calculate the mean pressure on a wall or fully submerged surface and hence the total fluid force.
12. Compute the center of pressure for simple geometric shapes, either partially or fully submerged.
13. Compute volume, weight and mass flow rates from given information.
14. Apply the continuity equation to cases of incompressible flow.
15. Compute the energies or changes in energies for the various forms of energy of a fluid in motion.
16. Develop Bernoulli's equation from the first law of thermodynamics in terms of head for a one
dimensional, steady state, incompressible flow system.
17. Use Reynold's criterion to determine the flow type.
18. Determine friction losses for laminar flow.
19. Use the Moody diagram and defining equations to determine friction factors in pipes for turbulent
flow.
20. Apply Bernoulli's equation to systems with pipe friction, minor losses, pumps or turbines.
21. Employ orifice or venturi meters to determine mass flow rate.
22. Apply impulse and momentum conceptsto determine the forces on stationary and moving vanes.
23. Evaluate pumps performance employing net positive suction head calculations.
24. Predict pump performance after impeller or speed alterations using the affinity laws.
