Fluid Mechanics: 3 semester hours

Catalog description

The fundamental conservation laws in fluid statics and dynamics are derived and solved analytically and numerically. Other topics include: analysis of viscous and inviscid flow; laminar and turbulent flows in pipes and on external surfaces; open channel flow; hydraulic machinery; and introduction to compressible flow. Direct applications to problems encountered in practice and in engineering design will be covered. Problem solving and design application will be emphasized. Prerequisites: ( MCEG 2301 or MCEG 2013) and ( MATH 2320 (may be taken concurrently) or MATH 2043 (may be taken concurrently)) and ( MCEG 2302 (may be taken concurrently) or MCEG 2053 (may be taken concurrently)).
