Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner should be able to:
1. Solve problems involving viscous fluid flow through pipes and pipe networks.
2. Solve simple engineering problems involving Couette flow and Lubrication.
3. Use Dimensional Analysis techniques to model hydrodynamic systems and hence predict their flow behaviour.
4. Solve simple engineering problems involving Vortex flows.
5. Solve simple engineering problems involving the effects of External (open) flows on bodies of various shapes.
6. Analyse the performance of and specify design parameters for hydraulic machinery such as pumps and turbines.
Overview of Assessment
Assessment for this module will consist of the following:
Practical Laboratories
Progressive written tests/assignments
End of module written exam
