COURSE OBJECTIVES
The objective of this course is to introduce the engineering students to the fundamental principles
of fluid mechanics and momentum transfer. The emphasis is on the basics of fluid static and fluid
motion, with applications generally selected from food processing. It is the intent of this course to
show how the basic laws of fluid mechanics (fluid static; conservation of mass, energy and
momentum) can be applied in an organized and systematic manner to the solution of practical
(food) engineering problems. Ultimately, the student should acquire the knowledge and skill
required to find solutions to practical fluid flow problems.
COURSE OUTCOMES
1. Analyze forces and pressures for static fluid problems.
2. Recognize and apply appropriate conservation equations to analyze steady flowing fluid
problems.
3. Apply energy and momentum equations to determine velocities and forces.
4. Perform dimensional analysis and apply principles of similitude to a given fluid and flow
problem.
5. Use energy equation to predict flow characteristics and calculate pressure drop at and across all
types of flow circuits and its pipes and other components.
6. Apply energy, mass and momentum balance principles in order to determine the required
pumps.
7. Be able to apply principles of fluid mechanics to different flow problems.

COURSE CONTENT

More time will be spent on topics such as pipe flow; friction loses in pipe flows of Newtonian and
non-Newtonian fluids. The outline can be modified during the course of semester as need arises.

NOTES FROM THE INSTRUCTOR
As with other courses, students are expected to study the lecture material before the class and to
participate in class discussions. 70% of attendance is required to take the final exam.
Ethical Behavior: Copying from others or providing answers or information, written or oral, to
others is CHEATING. Copying from another student’s paper or from another text without written
acknowledgement is PLAGIARISM. Unauthorized help from another person or having someone
else write one’s paper or assignment is COLLUSION. Cheating, plagiarism and collusion are
serious offences resulting in an F grade and disciplinary action.
