Syllabus

Fluid Mechanics:

Fluid properties: vapor pressure and viscosity. Hydrostatics: hydrostatic force on plane surfaces and curved surfaces. Stability of floating bodies: Meta centric height. Fluid Kinematics: flow visualization – streamlines and streak lines. Flow analysis: momentum – Impact of jet, Bernoulli’s equation – Venturimeter, energy equation – losses in pipes.

Fluid machines: Pumps: centrifugal pump, submersible pump and gear pump.Hydraulic turbines: Pelton and Francis Turbines.

Objectives and Outcomes

Course Objectives

  • To inculcate practical knowledge in characterizing fluid properties, hydrostatic force on submerged bodies, and stability of floating bodies
  • To visualize flow patterns over a bank of cylinders, measurement of flow rate, pumping power of fluid flow through duct and reaction force of jet impact
  • To demonstrate performance characteristics of pumps and turbines

Course Outcomes

  • CO1: characterize fluid properties, estimate hydrostatic force on submerged bodies and assess the stability of the floating body
  • CO2: evaluate stream lines, streak lines, flow rate, pumping power and reaction force using conservation laws
  • CO3: estimate head and pump efficiency under various operating conditions
  • CO4: calculate output power and turbine efficiency under various operating conditions
