Basics of Thermal Fluid Physics
What Will Learn?
-
Course AimsBy the end of the course, the students will be able to: ● Use the governing equation of the fluid statics to analyze the application of manometry and hydrostatic forces acting on different submerged surfaces. ● Apply control volume analysis using the concepts of continuity, energy, and momentum principles to fluid flow problems. ● Recognize the various aspects of laminar and turbulent flows in terms of shear stresses, velocity distributions, major and minor losses in pipe flows. In addition to identify the centrifugal pump characteristics and series and parallel pump connection. ● Apply dimensional analysis and similarity concept on any engineering application. ● Demonstrate understanding of the principle and application of Mach number, stagnation properties, nozzles, and shock waves. ● Apply differential analysis on fluid flow system using Navier-Stokes equation. ● Demonstrate understanding of the physics of flow over the immersed body, boundary layer theory, drag forces, lift forces, pressure gradients, and their effects on boundary layer separation and wake.
