Addis Ababa Institute of Technology


School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
Course Title: Fluid Mechanics I&II Course No: MEng 3171 Instructor
Course Objectives:
 To enable students to understand concepts, principles, laws, observations, and models of fluids at rest and in motion,
 To provide basis for understanding fluid behavior for engineering design and control of fluid systems,
 To help students develop competence with mass, energy and momentum balances for determining resultant interactions of
flows and engineered and natural systems,
 To enable students develop bases for correlating experimental data, designing procedures, and using scale models of fluid
flows,
 To enable students to learn the nature of rotation, circulation, resistance (viscous, turbulent), boundary layers, and separation
with applications to drag and lift on objects,
 To enable students learn methods for computing head losses and flows in simple pipes and channels, and
 To introduce the concept of dimensional analysis and similarity.
 Enable students understand the concept of potential flow theory
