Section 1A/1B Kannan M. Munisamy Office: BN-3-043 Phone: Ext 2240 Email: kannan@uniten.edu.my Synopsis Application of the basic and advance knowledge in fluids statics and dynamics, which includes mass, momentum, energy conservation principle. Course Outcome: At the end of the course, students are expected to: Be able to explain the basic fundamental principles of fluid mechanics such as continuum concept, viscosity, pressure, mass conservation principle, momentum conservation principle energy conservation principle, fluid frictions and boundary layer. Be able to explain the techniques used in analysing flowing fluids, namely the control volume analysis and be able to apply the technique in obtaining the control volume form of the mass, momentum and energy conservation equations. Be able to explain the equations that govern behaviour of flowing fluid, namely the Navier-Stokes Equations and simplifications of the equations such as Euler equation for inviscid fluids. Be able to apply the basic principles of fluid mechanics in solving practical engineering problems.
