Course Overview

The aim of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the properties of fluids and to introduce fundamental laws and description of fluid behaviour and flow. It will emphasize on the concept of pressure, hydostatic pressure equation and its applicaation in the measurement of pressure, static force due to immersed surfaces, floatation and buoyancy analysis. Dynamic flow analysis inclusive of technique in solving flow problems is introduce especially to solve flow measurement, mass or volumetric flow rate, momentum in flow and loss in pipe network. Lastly, some basic dimensional analysis and similarities will be introduced.
