Course Description

Fluid Mechanics 1 is a mandatory course that studies the behavior of fluids at rest or in motion without paying attention to the causes of fluid motion. The science of fluid mechanics is the main key in mechanical engineering, therefore its status in the curriculum is a mandatory course for Mechanical Engineering students. In the study of Mechanical Engineering, this course is very helpful in the basics of planning design, design of machines, airplanes, ships as well as supporting problem solving analysis of thermodynamics, heat transfer and combustion theory courses, especially those related to the conservation and exploitation of energy sources . This course is mainly based on the Physics course which is mostly related to natural sciences. In the Fluid Mechanics 1 course, the basic concepts of fluid mechanics will be discussed, including fluid properties, the forces that occur in static and dynamic fluids. After taking this course, students are expected to understand the concepts of fluid mechanics and their interrelationships and be able to apply them to the field of Mechanical Engineering.
