Learning outcomes

At the end of the course the student is
expected to:
- Know some basic characteristics of fluids
like density, viscosity etc.
- Determine pressure drops, levels, flows and
velocities in pipe flow systems by using the
Bernoulli equation.
- Determine pressure drops caused by frictional
losses in pipe flow systems.
- Determine the power for a pump in a
pipe flow system
-Model laminar fluid flow using using finite element method (FEM) on COMSOL
