Objectives of the Course Developing an intuitive understanding of the fundamentals of fluid mechanics

Practicing in the analytical formulation of fluid mechanics problems using Newton’s Laws of motion and thermodynamics
Course Content This is an introduction course to fluid mechanics to whom will have an opportunity to develop and demonstrate an understanding of the basic concepts and properties of fluids, pressured and fluid statics. Also, the fundamental topics of fluid mechanics will be covered including Reynold Transport Theorem (RTT), Bernoulli, energy equations, Momentum analysis

This course will require group projects, quizzes, homework, and exams. Students will be encouraged to report and present the given group project in a proper writing format. Completed projects will provide students with the ability to communicate effectively and clearly in writing and speaking.
