line, energy losses energy added and extracted.
Transferable Skills Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Skill (CT1, CT2, CT3)
Synopsis of Course Contents 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.
