COURSE OBJECTIVES:
• To acquire a sound knowledge on fluid properties, fluid statics, dynamic characteristics of fluid flow for through pipes and porous medium, flow measurement and fluid machineries.
UNIT I | 9 |
---|
Methods of analysis and description - fluid as a continuum – Velocity and stress field - Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids – Classification of fluid motion
UNIT II | 9 |
---|
Fluid statics – basic equation - equilibrium of fluid element – pressure variation in a static fluid - application to manometer – Differential analysis of fluid motion – continuity, equation of motions, Bernoulli equation and Navier- Stokes equation.
UNIT III | 9 |
---|
The principle of dimensional homogeneity – dimensional analysis, Rayleigh method and the Pitheorem - non-dimensional action of the basic equations - similitude - relationship between dimensional analysis and similitude - use of dimensional analysis for scale up studies
UNIT IV | 9 |
---|
Reynolds number regimes, internal flow - flow through pipes – pressure drop under laminar and turbulent flow conditions – major and minor losses; Line sizing; External flows - boundary layer concepts, boundary layer thickness under laminar and turbulent flow conditions- Flow over a sphere – friction and pressure drag - flow through fixed and fluidized beds.
UNIT V | 9 |
---|
Flow measurement - Constant and variable head meters; Velocity measurement techniques; Types, characteristics and sizing of valves; Classification, performance characteristics and sizing of pumps, compressors and fans
