Credit points: 7.1
Coordinator: Dr I. C. O'Neill
Prerequisite: 421-103 Engineering Statics
Contact: 23 hours of lectures, 16 hours of practical classes
Timetable: First semester
Objectives:
At the conclusion of this subject students will have acquired an understanding of:
- hydrostatics and basic fluid flow
- developed skills in solving simple problems involving both fluids at rest and in motion
- acquired an understanding of the principles of mass and heat transfer and an appreciation of their relevance to a range of engineering situations
Content:
Basic definitions and fluid properties; fluid statics (including Pascal's principle, the basic hydrostatic equation, liquid forces on plane and curved surfaces, buoyancy and stability of floating bodies); relative equilibrium; fluid kinematics (including steady and unsteady flow, streamlines, velocity profiles, continuity equation); the steady state energy equation; conduction, convection and radiant heat transfer; mass diffusion.
Assessment:
One three-hour written examination (85%); assignments totalling up to 3,000 words (15%)
