COURSE OBJECTIVES:

 To Enable the students to understand the properties of the fluids, behaviour of fluids
under static conditions and pressure measurement.
 To Enrich the knowledge on the applications of the conservation laws to flow through
pipes.
 To Equip students with the skills to apply dimensional analysis, similitude principles,
and model testing techniques to tackle fluid mechanics challenges effectively.
 To Guide students in understanding various turbines, working principles, efficiencies,
and performance analysis.
