By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1. Define fluid properties, Pascal law, and able to describe relationship
between pressure and elevation.
2. Compute hydrostatic pressure and forces on submerged surfaces/
objects.
3. Describe the fundamental equations of fluid dynamics, i.e. the
continuity, Bernoulli, and momentum equations, and able to apply the
Bernoulli and momentum equations for various problems.
4. Recognize the type of flow in pipelines, compute the energy grade
line, energy losses energy added and extracted.
5. Solve problems in simple and compound pipelines.
Analytical and data interpretation skill
This course aims to introduce the fluid mechanics and establish its
relevance in civil engineering. It starts with the definition of fluid
properties, Pascal law and pressure measurement. The underlying
concept of fluid statics and dynamics, the relevant equations and their
application are then discussed. Ended with the analysis of flowing fluid in
pipelines.
