Replacing course(s)
This course replaces the following course(s): MECH2710. Students who have successfully completed MECH2710 are not eligible to enrol in ENGG2300.
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of the course students will be able to:
1. Solve fluid mechanics problems encountered by engineers
2. Examine and analyse fluid systems
3. Conduct an experimental simulation
4. Demonstrate report writing skills commensurate with second year engineering students
Content
Topics to be covered in this course include:
- Properties of fluids and flows
- Fluid statics
- Flow types (e.g., ideal, viscous, compressible, turbulent)
- Derive and apply continuity, momentum, and Bernoulli equations for dynamic fluid systems
- Dimensional analysis to analyse fluid simulations
- Internal and external flows
- Analysis of systems containing fluids
Requisite
If you have successfully completed CHEE2315 Fluid Mechanics for Chemical Engineers, or CIVL2310 Fluid Mechanics or MECH2710 Fluid Mechanics 1, you cannot enrol in ENGG2300.
Assumed knowledge
Content covered in MATH1110 Mathematics for Engineering, Science and Technology 1 and MATH1120 Mathematics for Engineering, Science and Technology 2, or equivalent.
