| Learning Outcomes (LO) |
Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:
-
explain the basic principles of energy and momentum pertaining to fluids and compute the pressure within a static or moving fluid and the hydrostatic force on a submerged or partially submerged surface;
-
derive and apply Bernoulli's energy equation;
-
demonstrate an understanding of the significance of Reynold's experiments and its application to the two states of laminar and turbulent flow;
-
evaluate different types of pumps and the circumstances under which each type may be preferable and perform calculations necessary to determine the required pump specifications (heads and flow rate) for a given duty or purpose in practical systems;
-
demonstrate an understanding of the application of momentum principles to forces on rotating wheels (ie turbines), pipe bends and reducers in pipes;
-
demonstrate a range of manipulative, observational, interpretive, written and graphical communication skills through undertaking and reporting on laboratory work and completing written assignments.
