ME216 FLUID MECHANICS AND HYDRAULIC MACHINES

Objective of the Course:

To familiarize the students with the properties of fluids and also enable them to varioushydraulicmachines.

UNIT - IBasics of Fluid &Fluid Statics: Units and Dimensions - Properties of fluids - density, specificgravity, specific weight, viscosity, compressibility, vapour pressure, Capillarity and surface

tension. Forces on immersed surfaces. Introduction about center of pressure and buoyancy.

Piezometer,U-tube & Differential Manometers.

Unit-II

Fluid Kinematics & Dynamics : Flow characteristics, concepts of system and control volume –
