Rajalakshmi Engineering College Lesson Plan Date of Compilation: 27.04.2011 Faculty Name: Mrs. M.

Umamaguesvari Su ject Name: Mechanics of fluids Class: !"E ci#il eng" $ jecti#e:
The student is introduced to the definition and properties of fluid. Principles of fluid statics, kinematics and dynamics are dealt with subsequently. The application of similitude and model study are covered subsequently. After undergoing this course, the student would have learnt fluid properties and application to real situations of fluid flow.
