1. FLUID FLOW
It is the study of fluids (liquids) in motion under certain environments. The study focuses on liquids that are widely used in Engineering
such as water, oils, coolants, liquid fuels or mixtures. The section on slurries is not covered in this introductory course.
2. FLUID STATICS
It is the study of the properties of fluid (liquids) at rest. It involves the resultant forces and pressures exerted by the fluid at different
depths/heights and their effects to an outlet point.
BROAD OUT COMES
a). At the end of study students should be able to apply the LAWS of continuity and conservation of energy to simple pipe systems in
order to:
i). Derive Bernoullis equation
ii) Find the pressure losses in the pipe system along the pipe, at change of pipe size, at entry and exit to a reservoir.
iii) Calculate fluid flow parameters using the venturi theory and Pitot tube theory.
iv) Determine flow through an orifice plate.
v) Solve problems involving fluid flow through orifices, siphons, venturimeter, nozzles etc
b) To apply and calculate Darcys frictional losses along a pipe, losses due to sudden expansion and contraction.
c) To able to use Reynoldss number to determine whether the flow is laminar, mixed or turbulent flow.
d). Appreciate the cause and effects of both lamina and turbulent flow and their application in real life situation.
