LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT At the end of this course, the students;
1) Explain the fundamental properties of fluids, including viscosity, Newtonian and non-
Newtonian rheology.

2) Evaluate pressure distributions in a static fluid, taking account of hydrostatic pressure,
buoyancy force, and interfacial tension (Laplace pressure and capillary action)

3) Analyze fluid mechanics where flow is governed by the continuity equation and Navier-Stokes equation (differential forms of conservation equations).
4) Analyze systems using macroscopic fluid mechanics, using the integral form of the
conservation equations.

5) Identify the relevant parameters that govern a fluid system and use dimensional analysis to identify the fundamental variables that define flow.
6) Apply the affinity laws to pumps such as to determine their off-design behavior
