Fluid Mechanics - Part of Modular Certificate in Thermofluid & HVAC (Elective) (DEM1)
About This Course
"This module aims is to provide students with an understanding of the fundamental principles of Fluid Mechanics. In this module, the fundamental principles of Fluid Mechanics are introduced under the following topics. These include pressure and pressure measurement, hydrostatic forces on surfaces submerged in fluids and buoyancy, energies of liquids in motion, losses of energy in pipelines, general principles of pumps and system characteristic, and flow measurement (pitot-static tube, venturi and orifice meters).
Laboratory experiments are included to reinforce the students' theoretical knowledge through visualisation and experimentation. "
