C. Professional Information

1. Overall aims of course:

 1. Identify and obtain values of fluid properties and relationship between them.
2. Understand the principles of continuity, momentum, and energy as applied to fluid
motions.
3. Recognize these principles written in form of mathematical equations.
4. Apply these equations to analyze problems by making good assumptions and learn
systematic engineering method to solve practical fluid mechanics problems.
5. Describe the construction and working principle of turbines and pumps.
6. Understand about fluidics contain Hydraulic and pneumatic components.
7. Apply fundamental principles of fluid mechanics for the solution of practical
Mechanical engineering problems

8. Intended learning outcomes of the course

1. Formulate problems involving forces on fluid at rest and fluid in motion
2. Formulate problems involving different fluid machines.
3. Determine flow rate and discharge of fluid flowing in pipes and open channel
4. Analysis of various equation of fluid mechanics by dimensional analysis
5. Determine and calculate minor & major losses in pipe flow
6. Determine performance characteristics of fluid machines (pumps, turbines
etc.)
7. Measure various properties such as pressure, velocity and flow rate using
various instruments.
8. Acquire knowledge about working principle of various fluid machines.
9. Understand the influencing design parameters.
