Course-Plan
School Department Course Code Course Name : ENGINEERING : Mechanical Engineering : ME 209 : Fluid Mechanics II Instructor: Paragmoni Kalita

1. Abstract:
ME 209 is a core course offered for the B. Tech. programme in Mechanical Engineering. The course builds upon the fundamentals of fluid flow learnt in Fluid Mechanics I (ME 202). It will cover viscous laminar and turbulent incompressible flow, inviscid compressible flow, hydraulic machines and role of dimensional analysis and similitude .

2. Objective:
The course shall be taught with the following objectives: i. To introduce the students to the principles and applications viscous laminar and turbulent fluid flow ii. To give exposure of compressible flow problems iii. Familiarize the students with the principles and applications of hydraulic machines iv. Enable the students to solve practical engineering problems related to fluid dynamics v. Orient the students towards research fields in experimental and computational fluid dynamics vi. This course, being a very important course from the point of view of competitive examinations like GATE, UPSC and PSUs, attempts will be made to make the students competent to solve any problems of the standards of these competitive examinations

3.

Prerequisites of the course:

Elementary knowledge of fluid statics and fluid dynamics taught in ME 202. Also understanding of the laws of thermodynamics is desirable.
