    Course Description: FLUID MECHANICS

    This course will provide the student with a basic understanding of fluid properties, fluid statics and
    dynamics, and fluid flow. The flow of incompressible fluids in pressure systems constitutes the major
    portion of this course. Fluid measurement is covered both in the lecture and the laboratory portion of the
    course.
    Learning Outcomes:
    The successful student should consistently be able to:

    1. Calculate mass density, specific weight and specific gravity.


    2. Express absolute viscosity as a constant of proportionality relating shear stress and rate of shear strain
    in a fluid.
    3. Complete kinematic viscosity given the density and absolute viscosity of the fluid.
    4. Describe various methods used to determine viscosity.
    5. Use data from these methods to calculate viscosity.
    6. Determine from graphs and tables the viscosity of a given fluid at a given working temperature.
