Fluid Mechanics and Machinery 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 Fluid Mechanics and Machinery B.Tech (R13) thirdsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
- The applications of the conservation laws to flow through pipes and hydraulic machines are studied
- To understand the importance of dimensional analysis.
- To understand the importance of various types of flow in pumps and turbines.
UNIT I : FLUID PROPERTIES AND FLOW CHARACTERISTICS [8 hours]
Units and dimensions- Properties of fluids- mass density, specific weight, specific volume, specific gravity, viscosity, compressibility, vapor pressure, surface tension and capillarity. Flow characteristics – concept of control volume – application of continuity equation, energy equation and momentum equation.
UNIT II : FLOW THROUGH CIRCULAR CONDUITS [8 hours]
Hydraulic and energy gradient – Laminar flow through circular conduits and circular annuli-Boundary layer concepts – types of boundary layer thickness – Darcy Weisbach equation –friction factor- Moody diagram- commercial pipes- minor losses – Flow through pipes in series and parallel.
UNIT III : DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS [9 hours]
Need for dimensional analysis – methods of dimensional analysis – Similitude –types of similitude – Dimensionless parameters- application of dimensionless parameters – Model analysis.
