57:020 Mechanics of Fluids and Transfer ProcessesSpring 20049:30-10:20 AM, M W F – 3321SCInstructor: Professor Jacob OdgaardOffice Hours: 4115 SC, 10:30 - 11:15 am MWF306 HL - by appointment (5-5213)[email protected] Objectives:This is a first course in fluid mechanics. It provides an introduction to basic concepts in fluid statics, kinematicsand dynamics. All of which apply to diverse aspects of engineering and, in many respects, life itself. This courseprovides the requisite material for many other fluids, hydraulics, and heat-transfer courses in the Biomedical, Civil& Environmental, Chemical, and Mechanical Engineering programs.Control-volume principles are developed and used to demonstrate applications to simple flow systems inengineering to determine flow rates and forces, and energy losses and power requirements. Regular homeworkassignments are made. Laboratory experiments are an integral part of the course. They reinforce theory and itspractical applications, and introduce methods of fluid flow measurement and data analysis. The experiments areconducted in teams, with each member writing a separate report.

Homework problems are assigned MWF, are due WFM, and will be returned FMW, respectively. Latesubmission will not be accepted without a legitimate reason, explained in writing at the time of submission.2. Pre-selected homework problems are graded. Note: Additional graded problems may be given. Students arestrongly encouraged to work all assigned homework problems, some of which may appear on examinations. 3. Homework solutions should be prepared in the following format:NameProblem statementRelevant figure, drawn or sketched neatly to scale1Formulas used, numerical values, unitsDetails of the workResults expressed to appropriate precision and in appropriate stated units4. Solutions will be posted in the Engineering Library soon after the problems have been graded. Consult theseto correct your solutions for future reference.5. A Teaching Assistant will grade homework problems. The instructor (Prof. Odgaard) should be consulted incase of difficulty in solution of problems or questions concerning grading.6. Each problem will be graded on the basis of 10 points. Homework accounts for 20% of the final grade.Laboratories1. Experiments are an important part of this course. Each student must participate fully in the conduct of theseexperiments, and in the compilation and analysis of results. Experiments are conducted in teams, and teameffort is encouraged in the conduct of experiments and analysis of results. However, each student must preparean independent lab report. 2. The experiments are performed in the Fluids Laboratory, an instructional facility distributed within IIHR-Hydroscience & Engineering’s (formerly, Iowa Institute of Hydraulic Research) research areas. Three physicalexperiments and two numerical simulation experiments will be conducted in two sessions. Each student willbe assigned a team on the basis of alphabetical order in the first class list for each section. If students wish toform a different team, the instructor must be notified no later than the beginning of the second week of classes.3. Consult the LABORATORY SCHEDULE for the dates on which your team will perform the experiments.Deadlines for the submission of lab reports are indicated on the class schedule.4. More detailed instructions on laboratory procedures and reports will be provided during the LaboratoryProcedures classes and the lab sessions.Examinations1. There will be two 50-minute, and one 120-minute (FINAL), examinations on the dates shown on the classschedule.2. All exams are closed notes and books. A formula sheet will be made available. 3. Exams may include standard problems as well as multiple-choice and true-false questions. Examinations mayinclude problems previously assigned for homework.GradingThe final course grade will be based on the total points earned during the semester. The distribution of pointsis as follows: Two in-semester exams, counted at 10% each = 202Final examination, 30% = 30 4 lab reports, 7.5% each = 30 Homework problems, 20% = 20------- TOTAL 100
