MECH 3700 - Fluid Mechanics

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Description:

Fundamentals of fluid mechanics required for Mechanical Engineering majors. Students learn to analyze fluids through lecture and laboratory experiments. Topics include: fluid statics, conservation of mass, work and energy of moving fluids, fluid momentum, dimensional analysis and similitude, viscous flow within enclosed surfaces, pipe flow, compressible flow, and turbomachines. Inclusive Access Course Material (electronic book) fees may apply, see Fees tab under each course section for details. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Model and analyze systems involving hydrostatic equilibrium, internal flow, and/or flow over immersed bodies using kinematics, energy, conservation of mass, and/or conservation of momentum. 2. Describe scaling of fluid flow using dimensional analysis and similitude. 3. Model and analyze turbomachines such as pumps and propellers. 4. Build and analyze representative models of real-world steady-state and transient fluid systems using analytical expressions and/or numerical analysis. Prerequisites: MATH 2210 AND MECH 2030 AND MECH 3600 (All Grade C- or higher). Corequisites: MATH 3500 AND MECH 3705. FA
