    COURSE DESCRIPTION
    This course is designed primarily for students of Mechanical Engineering. It provides a
    comprehensive knowledge and insight into the study of Fluid Mechanics. Topics to be covered
    include: Fluid statics – pressure variation with altitude; Newton’s law of pressure at a point; plane
    of pressure/stress; application of Newton’s law. Types of fluid: – Newton’s law, viscosity,
    Newtonian and Non-Newtonian fluids. Forces on submerged surfaces. Equations of fluid motion.
    Flow measurements. Forces exerted by flowing fluids. Laminar and Turbulent flows. Reynolds
    Number. Flow in pipes and channels. One, two and three dimensional steady flows of
    incompressible fluid; critical flow, small amplitude waves; and shock waves. Fluid Machinery:
    Similarity and dimensionless analysis.

    COURSE OBJECTIVES
    The objectives of this course are to:
     Introduce students to basic mechanics of fluid flow.
     Provide students with opportunities to develop their knowledge of fluid flow in pipes.

    COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES / COMPETENCIES


    Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
     Identify the various types of fluids and flows.
     Carry out simple calculations on floating and submerged surfaces.
     Explain the concept of Fluid Machinery for prototype development

    GRADING SYSTEM FOR THE COURSE


    This course will be graded as follows:
    Practical 20%
    Test(s) and Assignments 20%
    Final Examination 60%
    TOTAL 100%

    GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
    Attendance: It is expected that every student will be in class for lectures and also participate in
    all practical exercises. Attendance records will be kept and used to determine each person’s
    qualification to sit for the final examination. In case of illness or other unavoidable cause of
    absence, the student must communicate as soon as possible with any of the instructors, indicating
    the reason for the absence.

    Academic Integrity: Violations of academic integrity, including dishonesty in assignments,


    examinations, or other academic performances are prohibited. You are not allowed to make
    copies of another person’s work and submit it as your own; that is plagiarism. All cases of
    academic dishonesty will be reported to the University Management for appropriate sanctions in
    accordance with the guidelines for handling students’ misconduct as spelt out in the Students’
    Handbook.
    Assignments and Group Work: Students are expected to submit assignments as scheduled.
    Failure to submit an assignment as at when due will earn you zero for that assignment. Only
    under justifying circumstances, for which a student has notified any of the instructors in advance,
    will late submission of assignments be permitted.

    2
    Code of Conduct in Lecture Rooms and Workshop: Students should turn off their cell phones
    during lectures. Students are prohibited from engaging in other activities (such as texting,
    chatting on phone, watching videos, etc.) during lectures. Food and drinks are not permitted in
    the workshop.
