Course Title: Fluid Mechanics – 1
Course Teacher: Yusuf Ali
Course ID: AM 07152109
Credit Hours: 3
Rationale:
The correct understanding of the principles of fluid mechanics and on their application to the solution of
engineering problems. This course provides a foundation for designing efficient systems and improving existing
technologies, supported by both theoretical knowledge and hands-on laboratory experience. From the way water
flows through a pipe to the way air moves around an airplane, fluid mechanics is used to understand and predict
the behavior of fluids.
Course Learning Outcomes:
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
CO1: Apply the concept of continuum, properties of fluids and pressure distribution.
CO2: Analyze the concept of fluid kinematics & fluid flow
CO3: Investigate energy equations to solve fluid dynamic problems.
CO4: Analyze the flow measurement devices.
CO5: Apply the concepts of stream function and velocity potential in simple inviscid
incompressible flows.
