Paper Description
This course covers the basic principles of fluid mechanics. Topics include fluid statics, fluid dynamics, Bernoulli and energy equations, momentum analysis of flow structures, flow measurement, dimensional analysis, internal flow in pipes and ducts, external flow over streamlined and bluffed bodies, pump sizing and selection, and an introduction to open channel flow.
Paper Structure
The paper is taught through a combination of lectures, tutorials and laboratories. There will be three lectures and one tutorial per week, plus a total of four marked laboratories and one demonstration laboratory. The design workshops, to help students with their fluid design challenge project, will begin in week 4 and run once a week. Please note that laboratory classes start in the second week of the semester and are an essential part of the learning for this paper.
Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the course should be able to:
Assessment
The learning outcomes are assessed in weekly assignments, labs, a test and an exam, weighted as shown:
50% Final exam (Closed Book)
10% Test 1
10% Assignments
10% Lab work
20% Fluids design challenge
Final exam
The final examination, held during Examination weeks, will cover the whole semester’s lecture material. It will be a closed book examination. Programmable calculators, not containing stored information, are allowed. It is worth 50% of your final grade. The format of the final examination will be discussed in lectures during the last week of the course.
Test
There will be one restricted book test to help you prepare for the final exam. ONE sheet (2 sides) of A4 notes. The test is worth 10% of your final grade. The date is shown below. The format will be discussed in class prior to the test.
Assignments
There will be five tutorial assignments given out in the tutorial sessions starting in week one.
They contribute 10% to the final mark. Assignments should be handed to the main Faculty reception desk on the ground floor of FG Block by 10:00 am one week after they were handed out. Worked solutions will be posted on Moodle after the due date.
Lab work
There are four laboratory sessions. Each student is required to keep a journal of each laboratory session in an A4 hard-covered notebook. This journal should be handed to the main Faculty reception desk on the ground floor of FG Block, by 10 am four days after the lab (worth 5%). Students are also required to submit one lab report, which will be worth 5% of your final grade.
Fluids Design Challenge Project
A group project that involves students designing a simplified small town water supply system. The project is worth 20% of your final grade.
Assessment Components
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 50:50. The final exam makes up 50% of the overall mark.
