Course Outcomes:
On completion of the course, the student is expected to
- Demonstrate the properties of fluid and its behaviour in static conditions along with pressure measurements.
- Apply the conservation laws applicable to fluid flows and its application through fluid kinematics and dynamics.
- Estimate losses in pipelines for both laminar and turbulent conditions and analysis of pipes connected in series and parallel and to understand the concept of application of dimensional analysis in model studies.
- Describe the basics characteristics of open channel flows and analysis of steady uniform flow with hydraulically efficient channel sections and to measure the flows in artificial/natural channels.
- Explain the classification, design and working principles of various pumps.
