CE 411 - Fluid Mechanics

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

Description:

The study of the physical behavior of incompressible and compressible fluids and fluid systems. Hydrostatic and hydrodynamic systems are considered. Fluid transmission and control applications include the design of weirs orifices, and valves. The determination of pressure losses in open and closed systems is covered. Other topics include the storage of energy by pressurized fluids in closed systems. Prerequisites: ME 102, MATH 210, PHYS 201. Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) Discuss and apply the basic theories that are used in analysis and design of fluid systems. 2) Develop a working knowledge of how to mathematically model a fluid flow problem. 3) Calculate the forces produced by fluids at rest. 4) Solve problems involving fluid dynamics and transmission of power. 5) Evaluate fluid friction and head loss in pipe systems containing pumps or turbines.
