Pritchard and John W. Mitchell, Wiley, Hoboken, NJ, 07030 Catalogue Description: Topics include fluid statics, control volume analysis – continuity, momentum, energy, Bernoulli equation, dimensional analysis and similitude, laminar and turbulent flows, boundary layers, differential analysis, external flow, lift and drag, internal flow, basic pump selection, introduction to turbomachinery, and basic open channel flow. Objectives: - To demonstrate understanding of fundamentals of forces exerted by fluids, both at rest and in motion. - To apply fluids concepts in mathematical form to solve problems. - To demonstrate practical knowledge of fluid mechanics and application to working systems. - To apply dimensional analysis and analytical techniques to problems based on conservation laws. Grading : Exams/tests 35% (Every other Wednesday for 30 mins.) Homework 10% Project 10% Lab 20% Final exam 25% *The grading weightage could be subject to change. Final Exam: Wednesday, August 1st, 2018 2:00 -4:00 pm (tentative date) Deadlines, Homework, and Working Together: Please submit all assignments on the due date. The due dates will be announced in class. Late submissions will not be accepted (depends on situation). Unless arrangements are made in advance, make-up exams will generally not be given. You are encouraged to work together and share ideas on homework and projects, however all assigned work is to be individually prepared.Learning Disabilities: If you have a documented learning disability that requires special measures either in class or in taking exams, please notify the instructor at your earliest convenience so that we can maximize your educational benefit from this course. If you require further information about learning disabilities please contact Disability Support Services (www.gvsu.edu/DSS). Course Policies: https://www.gvsu.edu/coursepolicies/ Laboratory: The lab experience is a significant part of this course and, therefore, it is highly recommended to maintain a separate notebook. Start new projects/labs on a new page. Purchase the lab course pack which contains all the lab assignments. Also, purchase a 3-ring binder for the lab.
