Unit I
Properties of Fluids
Properties of fluids – definition – units of measurement – Mass density – specific weight, specific volume – specific gravity, equation of state – perfect gas – Viscosity – vapour pressure- compressibility, elasticity and surface tension – capillarity. Fluid pressure and measurement – simple, differential and micro manometers – Mechanical gauges -calibration. Hydrostatic forces on surfaces – Total pressure and centre of pressure -Horizontal- vertical and inclined plane surface. Archimedes principles – buoyancy, applications – fluid food – case studies

Flow Measurements
Bernoullis equation – applications – Venturimeter – orifice meter – nozzle meter &rota meter -pitot tube. Orifice – sharp edged orifice – submerged orifice – mouth piece – Flow through orifice under variable head – time of emptying a tank with and without inflow. Flow through pipes – laminar and turbulent flow in pipes – Reynolds experiment – Darcy – Weisbach equation for friction head loss – Chezys formula – Mannings formula – Hazen-William”s formula – Major and minor losses in pipes. Valves, valve types and characteristics of valves, applications – fluid food – case studies

Unit V
Dimensional Analysis and Pumps
Dimensional analysis – concept of geometric, kinematic and dynamic similarity.Important non-dimensional numbers – Reynolds, Froude, Euler, Mach and Weber. Pump terminology – suction lift, suction head, delivery head, discharge, water horse power – selection of pump capacity. Centrifugal pumps – components – working – types of pumps and impellers – Primingcavitation – characteristics curves. Turbine and submersible pumps – Jet pump – Other pumps -Air lift pump – reciprocating pump – sludge pump and vacuum pump-Hydraulic ram, applications – fluid food – case studies.
