PROC 1900 Fluid Mechanics

Study of fluid statics, dynamics, and pipe flow calculations relevant to power systems.

About this course

Fluid Mechanics covers the fundamental principles of fluid statics, dynamics, and pipe flow calculations relevant to power systems. You will learn how to analyse the behaviour of liquids and gases under various conditions, with a focus on applications in power engineering.

The course includes lectures on pressure measurement, fluid properties, and energy conservation, as well as laboratory sessions where you will conduct experiments to validate theoretical concepts. You will also work on problem sets that simulate real-world engineering scenarios.
