Objectives of the Course
Purpose of this lesson is to teach fluid mechanics principles, equivalence relations and using this equivalence relations in problems. Teaching to students how to use mechanics, momentum, force and mass equivalence relations in different problems, how to use calculating tecniquies in pipe systems, finding flow rate of fluids, energy loss of the system and apply this inputs in general energy relation which is called Bernouilli equation in order to find pressure loss of the system. Teaching pipes and pipe systems, valves, pumps and flowmeters which are used in fluid systems, how to use these equipments in the systems and solving problems according to these equipments.
