COURSE OBJECTIVES:

To define fluid properties, describe Pascals law, Hydrostatic law, and solve static fluid problems
To explain Buoyancy and Stability concepts of floating objects
To apply Bernoullis principle to solve fluid flow problems
To make dimensional analysis of fluid mechanics problems
To explain the concepts of laminar flow, viscous flow through pipes and plates
To analyze various forces acting on submerged bodies

COURSE OUTCOMES:
C305.1

Students will be equipped with knowledge and skills to solve fluid static and dynamics
problems.
C305.2
