UNIT I INTRODUCTION 9
Fluid – definition, distinction between solid and fluid - Units and dimensions - Properties of fluids - density, specific weight, specific volume, specific gravity, temperature, viscosity, compressibility,vapour pressure, capillary and surface. Properties of velocity field -thermodynamic properties of a fluid - viscosity and other secondary properties - basic flow analysis techniques flow patterns.

UNIT II PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION IN A FLUID 9
Pressure and pressure gradient - equilibrium of fluid element - hydrostatic pressure distributions - applications to manometry - Hydrostatic forces on planed and curved submerged surfaces - laws of buoyancy and stability; Considerations for bodies in floatation.


UNIT III INTEGRAL RELATIONS FOR A CONTROL VOLUME 9
Basic laws of fluid mechanics, concept of system and control volume concept - The Reynold’s transport theorem - continuity equation - the linear momentum equation - the angular momentum theorem - steady flow energy equation - friction less flow - Bernoulli equation - relation between the Bernoulli and steady flow energy equation.

UNIT IV DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS AND SIMILITUDE 9
The principle of dimensional homogeneity - the Pi-theorem - non-dimensional action of the basic equations -similitude - relationship between dimensional analysis and similitude - use of dimensional analysis for scale up studies.

UNIT V FLOW MEASUREMENT AND COMPRESSIBLE FLOW 9
Constant and variable head meters - classification of pumps - performance curves, compressors and its efficiency; Adiabatic and isoentropic flow with the area changes, shock waves, operation of convergence and divergence nozzles, compressible duct flow with friction.
