ME 317 - Fluid Mechanics

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
This course begins with fluid properties, fluid statics, and pressure gauges. The study of fluid dynamics starts with the mathematics of the velocity field and proceeds to a control volume formulation for conservation of mass, momentum and energy. The Bernoulli equation is derived and extended to include pipe friction and minor losses. The student is introduced to boundary layers, and drag. The lab stresses instrumentation and quantification of experimental error. (prereq: MA 232 , ME 206 )
