Description

This introductory fluid mechanics subject covers the general concepts of fluids, thermodynamics, and the methods of engineering analysis. Students learn the fundamentals of fluid statics and dynamics including fluid properties and apply Bernoulli equations to practical applications. Students explain and apply the finite control volume analysis, and conduct dimensional analysis … For more content click the Read More button below.
