Synopsis :
This course is designed to introduce and apply the concepts of Fluid Mechanics (fluid statics and kinematics, flow in closed conduits, with/and centrifugal pumps) and to solve problems related to Civil Engineering. It encompasses topics such as fluid statics and fluid dynamics. The pressures and forces in these static and dynamic fluids are introduced, discussed and analysed through equations. It also touches upon the analyses of flows in closed conduits to include minor and major head losses. The performance characteristics, functions and applications of centrifugal pumps in pipeline systems are also demonstrated and analysed in this course. At the end of this course, students will be able to identify, analyse and solve problems related to Fluid Mechanics.
