English Description
Review of fluid properties and hydrostatics: Manometry, Forces on plane and curved surfaces, Buoyancy, Fluid masses subjected to acceleration (forced vortex). Kinematics of fluid motion: Fluid flow, Types of flow, Classification of flow, Continuity equation. Flow of Incompressible fluid: One-dimensional flow, Euler's Equation in three dimensions, Bernoulli's, Energy equation, Applications of Bernoulli's equation (flow through free and submerged orifices, flow over notches and weirs flow measuring devices, time of filling and emptying tanks under variable and constant heads, free vortex). Pipe flow: Laminar and turbulent flow, Reynolds’ number, Shear stress distribution, Velocity distribution, Main losses, Secondary losses, Single pipe, Pipe connections (parallel and series), Pipe branching, Three tank problems. The Impulse-Momentum principle: Development of the principle, Pipe bends, Enlargements and contractions. -
