Fluid Mechanics
Fluid Mechanics for EE

The course deals with the nature and physical properties of fluids as well as the identification and measurement of fluid properties. It emphasizes the application of conservation laws on mass, energy, and momentum to fluid systems either incompressible or compressible flow, inviscid or viscous flow as well as head loss calculation on pipes and fittings.  

Course Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, the student should be able to:

  • CLO1. Distinguish the different fluid properties and the methods of measuring them. 
  • CLO2. Relate the principles of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy to fluid systems.  
  • CLO3. Design, execute a fluid mechanics projects.
