LEARNING OUTCOMES
This is a basic lesson of the Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering and aims to give to the Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineer students the basic knowledge of Fluid Mechanics about their behavior in static and kinematic situations with the aim of investigating their effect on components and facilities of mechanical interest. This knowledge is necessary and is used in many subsequent courses of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering, such as Fluid Mechanics II, Fluid Dynamics Machines, Aerodynamics, Natural Gas Technology, Wind Energy Systems, Multiphase Flows, etc.
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:
- Has comprehended the basics of the state of the fluid, such as pressure, speed, temperature, density, viscosity, shear stress,
- Has knowledge of calculating the effect of stationary fluids on solid bodies and various mechanical components (hydrostatic and aerostatic forces in tanks, dams, level checkboxes, etc.).
- Be aware of and be able to apply the fundamental equations governing fluid movement (mass storage, momentum and fluid energy equations) so that it can determine the kinetic state of fluids within and around various mechanical components such as for example pipes in central heating, water supplying, and air conditioning installations.
