CAEE 362 - Engineering Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics

When Offered: F, S

3 Credit(s)
3 Lecture Hour(s)
0 Lab Hour(s)

This is the first level engineering fluid mechanics course which also integrates fundamental hydraulics concepts and applications pertinent to Civil, Architectural, and Agricultural Engineering. Topics include properties of fluids, hydrostatic pressure and manometry, forces on submerged surfaces, Pascal’s Law, Archimedes’ Principle, the Bernoulli and energy equation for steady state flow, Reynolds transport theorem, energy and hydraulic grade lines, head loss calculations, momentum principle, flow and velocity measurement, pumps, branched and looped pipe systems and analysis of open channel flow, sub and super-critical flow, hydraulic jump, and dimension analysis.

Prerequisite(s): CAEE 231 and MATH 231.
