Competency aims

To apply Fluid Mechanics theory in common engineering applications.

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course the student should be able to:

-Calculate pressure differences in manometers.
-Calculate forces of fluids on inclined and curved surfaces.
-Use the momentum equation to calculate the forces applied to nozzles and plates by the flow of fluids.
-Use the Bernoulli equation in calculating the pressure in internal flow systems.
-Calculate the head loss in internal flow systems.
-Calculate the rate of work of pumps and turbines.
-Use Comsol software to analyze the flow of fluids using the Navier Stokes equation (students can obtain their own version of Comsol for home use).
-Apply rheology to the manufacturing of plastics.
