Course Description:
The principle aim of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the properties of fluids and to introduce fundamental laws and description of fluid behavior and flow. It will emphasize on the concept of pressure, hydrostatic pressure equation and its application in the measurement of pressure, static force due to immersed surfaces, floatation and buoyancy analysis. Dynamic flow analysis inclusive of technique in solving flow problems is introduce specially to solve flow measurement, mass or volumetric flow rate, momentum in flow and loss in pipe network. Lastly, some basic dimensional analysis and similarities will be introduced. At the end of the course, the student should be able to demonstrate an ability to analyze statically, dynamically or kinematically problems related directly to fluids
