Course Objectives		The purpose of the course is to inform students about the engineering properties of fluids, to derive, explain, and impart application skills for conservation and motion equations for fluids, taking into account fluid properties, and to provide the ability to apply these equations to different flow states.
Course Description		Properties of Fluids, Fluid Statics, Fluid Flow, Mass and Energy Conservation Equations, Mechanical Energy Equation, Pumps, Flow Meters, Macroscopic and Microscopic Momentum Balances, Incompressible Flow in Pipes and Channels.
Course Outcomes		Can define and explain the fundamental concepts of fluid mechanics. Can determine and analyze fluid properties and flow parameters. Can solve problems related to fluid statics (hydrostatics) such as pressure distribution, force, torque, and lift force. Can establish macroscopic mass, momentum, and mechanical energy balances to determine properties such as pressure, force, torque, mechanical work, power, and velocity associated with fluid flow in processes, and can use appropriate fluid properties and unit conversion factors. Can solve problems involving pumps and pipe networks by calculating friction losses, pressure drops, pipe diameter, and flow velocity. For fluid flow in any geometry, can establish a microscopic momentum balance, make reasonable simplifying assumptions, write appropriate boundary conditions, and solve momentum equations using suitable analytical methods to reach a predictive model. Can develop mathematical models for mass flow rate, average velocity, volumetric flow rate, power, torque, and force starting from the expression of pressure or velocity profile to find macroscopic fluid and mechanical properties.
