Mechanics of Fluids Syllabus for B.Tech 3rd sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Mechanics of Fluids B.Tech (R13) thirdsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
To understand the basic properties of the fluid, fluid kinematics, fluid dynamics and to analyse and appreciate the complexities involved in solving the fluid flow problems.
UNIT I : FLUID PROPERTIES AND FLUID STATICS [9 hours]
Fluid – definition, distinction between solid and fluid – Units and dimensions – Properties of fluids – density, specific weight, specific volume, specific gravity, temperature, viscosity, compressibility, vapour pressure, capillarity and surface tension – Fluid statics: concept of fluid static pressure, absolute and gauge pressures – pressure measurements by manometers and pressure gaugesforces on planes – centre of pressure – bouncy and floatation.
UNIT II : FLIUD KINEMATICS AND DYNAMICS [9 hours]
Fluid Kinematics – Flow visualization – lines of flow – types of flow – velocity field and acceleration – continuity equation (one and three dimensional differential forms)- Equation of streamline – stream function – velocity potential function – circulation – flow net. Fluid dynamics – equations of motion – Euler’s equation along a streamline – Bernoulli’s equation – applications – Venturi meter, Orifice meter and Pitot tube. Linear momentum equation and its application.
UNIT III : FLOW THROUGH PIPES [9 hours]
Viscous flow – Shear stress, pressure gradient relationship – laminar flow between parallel plates – Laminar flow through circular tubes (Hagen poiseulle’s) – Hydraulic and energy gradient – flow through pipes – Darcy -Weisbach’s equation – pipe roughness -friction factor- Moody’s diagram- Major and minor losses of flow in pipes – Pipes in series and in parallel.
