​Pre Requisite: Undergrade Mathematics and Physics

Introduction:

The course of fluid mechanics is introducing fundamental aspects of fluid flow behavior. Students will learn properties of Newtonian fluids; apply concepts of mass, momentum and energy conservation to flows.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Apply the basic models for inviscid and viscous fluid flow using control volume and differential analysis approaches. 
2. Develop the understanding by applying mathematical models to simple realizable configurations along with practical considerations.
3.  Apply solutions of models developed in the course for industrial applications.
4.  Analyze the problems related to elementary fluid dynamics especially for incompressible flows using Bernoulli equation in particular.
