ENGR 335     Learning Objectives  Fall 2009

 

The goal of ENGR335 is for you to learn words, concepts, and problem solving skills in the following areas:

 

1.  Fluid statics

manometers

forces and moments on flat submerged surfaces

buoyancy forces

 

 2.  Conservation of mass

flow rate in a conduit

tank filling and draining problem

 

3.  Pressure variation due to fluid acceleration

acceleration of fluid in a conduit (negligible friction)

application of the Bernoulli equation to, stagnation point pressure, draining tanks,

            nozzles, etc.

 

4.  Conservation of momentum

reaction forces on nozzles, bends, etc.

application of conservation of momentum to non-uniform velocity profiles

 

5.  Energy equation and pipe flows

flow rate and pressure variation in piping and duct  systems

piping systems with a pump

pipes in parallel

 

6.  Flow measurements

Pitot-static tubes, obstruction flow meters, integration of velocity profiles

 

7.  Boundary layers, surface resistance and drag forces

boundary layers

form drag, skin-friction drag, and total drag on an object in a flow

forces and moments generated by flow over an object

terminal velocity
