FLUID MECHANICS & HYDRAULIC MACHINES Analysis

Objective:

The scholars finishing this course area unit expected to know the properties of fluids, its kinematic and dynamic behavior through numerous laws of fluids like continuity, Euler’s, Bernoulli’s equations, energy and momentum equations. Further, the coed shall be able to perceive the idea of physical phenomenon, operating and performance characteristics of varied hydraulic machines like pumps and turbines.

UNIT I

Objective: ‘

When learning this unit student can recognize the thought of fluid and its properties, manometry, fluid mechanics forces performing on completely different surfaces and conjointly drawback finding techniques. Fluid statics: Dimensions and units: physical properties of fluids- relative density, consistency and its significance, surface tension, capillary action, pressure level. region gauge and vacuum pressure – measuring of pressure. Manometers- measuring instrument, U-tube, inverted and differential manometers. Pascal’s law, fluid mechanics law. Buoyancy and floatation: Meta center, stability of floating body. Submerged bodies. Calculation of metacentre height. Stability analysis and applications.
UNIT II Objective: during this unit student are going to be exposed to the fundamental laws of fluids, flow patterns, viscous flow through ducts and their corresponding issues.
