(Common To Mechanical, Production, Mechatronics, Automobile and Aeronautical)

OBJECTIVE
• To understand the structure and the properties of the fluid.
• To understand and appreciate the complexities involved in solving the fluid flow problems.
• To understand the mathematical techniques already in vogue and apply them to the solutions of practical flow problems.
• To understand the energy exchange process in fluid mechanics handling incompressible fluids.
