AE 213 - Introduction to FluidMechanics 4

Institution:

Milwaukee School of Engineering

Subject:

Description:

This course covers the basic principles of fluidmechanics necessary for the design of building plumbing and fire protection systems, and for the design of air duct systems in building HVAC systems. Specific topics covered include: (1) introduction to basic fluid properties such as specific weight and viscosity, and an introduction to the concept andmeasurement of pressure, (2) the continuity equation for incompressible, steady flows, (3) the steady flow energy equation for incompressible, adiabatic fluid flow, and its simplified formthe Bernoulli equation, (4) computationmethods for frictional andminor losses in closed channel flow, (5)Manning's equation for open channel flow, (6) introduction to flowmeasuring devices, (7) basic principles of pumps, fans, compressors, and blowers, and (8) an introduction to plumbing and fire protection systemdesign through the use of various, applicable case studies throughout the course, but especially during the last week of the course.
