Description/Objectives:  Basic concepts, fluid statics, fluid kinematics, finite control volume analysis, differential analysis, similitude, dimensional analysis and modeling, viscous flow in pipes, viscous flow over bodies, open channel flow, compressible flow.  Physical understanding of fluid flows will be stressed.  The course will be developed in such a way as to provide a background to higher-level courses in fluid mechanics.  A number of illustrative examples will also be included to expose the student to problems of industrial importance.

Prerequisites:  MATH 241, PHYS 151, (differential equations, dynamics, and thermodynamics  - concurrently) or permission of instructor.

Exams:      No.1: TBA  (20%)
                      No.2: TBA (20%)
                      Final: TBA (40%)

Homework & Projects:     Due one week from assigned date (20%)

Tests and Exams

• Test # 1 will be on Oct. 18. Open book and notes etc.  Testing  will include material covered from the beginning till Oct. 18th. ( Material taught on Oct 16th will be included).
• Test # 2 will be on Nov. 17.  Open book and notes.  There will be 3 problems - two from Chapter 5 and one from Chapter 6.
• Final Exam will be on Dec 14, 9-11am.  Open book and notes.  Testing will include material from Chapter 6, 7, 8 and 9.

Examinations. Examinations will be given on the scheduled dates and will cover assigned material and any additional material presented in class.  The score will be recorded as zero if an exam is missed.  Makeup exams will be given only for illness or serious emergency.  To receive full credit on exam problems you must completely solve the problems (include: labeling of the coordinate system, drawing the appropriate control volume where needed, and specifying units, etc.), and be neat.  Be sure you understand fully the instructions for examinations.

Homework. Assigned homework problems will be collected before the start of the lecture a week from the day they are assigned.  Late homework will not be accepted.  Turn in only your homework.  Do not turn in homework for an absent classmate.  Homework for excused absences must be submitted to the instructor and should be submitted before it is due, except in unusual circumstances.
Graded homework will be returned in recitation; homework solutions will be available in the SEAS library.
 

Attendance. You are expected to attend every lecture and recitation class meeting.  You are responsible for all material (including announcements or schedule changes) covered in class.

Grades. Your course grade will be based on in-term examinations (2 exams counting 20% each), the final examination (40%), and homework (20%).
