Course Learning Outcomes* At the end of the course, students are able to:
1. Express the properties that distinguish fluids from other forms of matter, and
appreciating the broad range of fluid mechanics applications.
2. Solve engineering analysis of fluids systems and interpret the flow physics
through the conservation laws.
3. Analyse fluids at rest using integral and differential calculus, based on New-
ton's second law.
4. Examine engineering fluids systems by adopting systems and control vol-
ume methods based on mass, momentum, and energy conservation, as
appropriate.
5. Estimate flowing fluid systems by relating mass, momentum, and energy
conservation laws while appreciating laminar and turbulent flow models.
Transferable Skills Microsoft Office Software used in preparing laboratory reports.
Synopsis of Course Contents This course is an introduction to fluid mechanics, and emphasizes fundamental
concepts and problem-solving techniques. Topics to be covered include fluid
properties, fluid statics, fluid kinematics, control volume analysis, internal flows
(pipe flows) and external flows (lift and drag).
