Course Objectives		The objective of this course is to introduce the engineering students to the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics.
Course Description		It is the intent of this course to show how the basic laws of fluid mechanics (fluid static; conservation of mass, energy and momentum) can be applied in an organized and systematic manner to the solution of practical (food) engineering problems. Ultimately the student should acquire the knowledge and skill required to find solutions to practical fluid flow problems.
Course Outcomes		Analyze forces and pressures for static fluid problems. 2. Recognize and apply appropriate conservation equations to analyze steady flowing fluid problems. 3. Apply energy and momentum equations to determine velocities and forces. Perform drag force calculations. 4. Perform dimensional analysis and apply principles of similitude to a given fluid and flow problem. 5. Use energy equation to predict flow characteristics and calculate pressure drop at and across all types of flow circuits and its pipes and other components. 6. Apply energy balance principles in order to determine the required pumps. 7. Apply basic principles of fluid mechanics to packed-bed and fluidized bed problems. 8. Be able to apply principles of fluid mechanics to different flow problems
