Synopsis

This  unit  presents the fundamental concepts of fluid behaviour  both
under  static and dynamic conditions. This unit is designed to  enable
the student to analyse and design any practical problem in which fluid
is  the working medium. The contents of this unit includes statics and
dynamics  of fluid flow, dimensional analysis, internal viscous  flow,
eg  laminar and turbulent flows in pipes and ducts. Also, viscous flow
around  bodies, boundary layer and compressible flow. The  theoretical
knowledge is reinforced by practical work, videos and a project.
