CE282
FLUID MECHANICS AND MACHINERY
PRE-REQUISITE: Knowledge of Engineering mechanics.
Faculty: Dr. P.A.Krishnan
OBJECTIVE: To provide the same basic methodology to deformable bodies under the action of Forces and Torques.
1. Introduction-Units and Dimensions - Fluid properties. Fluid static�s : Pressure in a fluid - force on submerged planes - buoyancy - equilibrium of floating bodies
2. Types Of Flow And Measurement-Types of flow - one dimensional continuity, momentum, and Energy equations-Flow measurement - orificemeter - venturimeter, Pitot tube, orifices, mouthpieces, notches and weirs
3. Boundary Layer Theory-Ideal and real fluid flow - boundary layer concepts- flow through pipes - friction factor - flow losses in pipeline
4. Pump-Centrifugal pump - types - specific speed - Equations for energy transfer - efficiencies. Reciprocating pump - vane pump - gear pump � screw pump
5. Turbines-Hydraulic turbines - types - specific speed - pelton - Francis and Kaplan turbines - Calculation of power output efficiencies
