Fluid Mechanics Syllabus for B.Tech Third 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 B.Tech 2016-2017 (R13) thirdsem is as follows
OBJECTIVE: To impart to the students knowledge on fluid properties, fluid statics, dynamic characteristics for through pipes and porous medium, flow measurement and fluid machineries
UNIT I [9 Hours]
The concept of fluid, the fluid as a continuum physical and thermodynamic properties – basic laws – Newtorian and non-newtorian fluids – flow patterns – Velocity field – streamlines and stream tubes – vorticity and irrotationality. The principle of dimensional hormogeneity – dimensional analysis, the Pi-theorems. Similitude – use of dimensional analysis for scale up studies.
UNIT II [9 Hours]
Pressure and Pressure gradient – equilibrium of fluid element – hydrostatic pressure distributions – application to manometry – mass, energy and momentum balances – continuity equation, equation of motion, Navier – stokes equation and Bernoullis theorem.
UNIT III [9 Hours]
Reynold’s number regimes, flow through pipes – head loss, friction factor, minor losses in pipe systems and multiple pipe systems – boundary layer concepts, drag forces on solid particles in fluids – flow through fixed and fluidized beds.
TOTAL : 45 PERIODS
OUTCOME: On completion of this course, the students would have knowledge on
- Fluid properties, their characteristics while static and during flow through ducts, pipes and porous medium.
- Several machineries used to transport the fluid and their performance.
