Rationale:

Now a days the fluid mechanics find wide applications in many situations directly or indirectly. Agricultural engineers are expected to have the knowledge and the understanding of the basic principles and concepts of fluid mechanics both in static and dynamic conditions. This is to enable them to analyze and design systems in which fluid is the working medium.

Objectives:

  • To understand the various properties of fluids. Explain the working of mechanical gauges.
  • Explain continuity equation and Bernoulli’s equation. Know types of flow of fluids and practical applications.
  • Estimate the discharge through orifices, mouth pieces, notches & weirs.
  • Definition of flow through pipes, losses of head due to friction.
  • Flow through open channel, velocity of flow in open channel.
  • Assess the Impact of Jets on a stationary flat plate held normal and inclined. Classifications of Hydraulic Turbines, types of draft tubes functions.
  • Explain the working of Centrifugal pumps Reciprocating Pumps
