Applied Fluid Mechanics

Catalog description

The fundamental principles of fluid mechanics are developed, including properties of fluid, pressure, hydrostatics, dynamics of fluid flow, friction losses, and sizing of pipes. Emphasis is on problem solving. Typically offered Fall. Prerequisite(s): MA 16019 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- AND MET 23000 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- Course Learning Outcomes 1. Apply hydrostatic equations to static and dynamic fluid problems. 2. Solve problems involving flow over immersed bodies. 3. Analyze piping systems for closed conduit flow. 4. Select pumps to optimize open and closed loop flow systems. View Class Schedule
