MET 3185 - Fluid Mechanics

Credits: 3

Prerequisite(s): MET 3160 with a grade of “C” or better or permission of instructor

Description: In this course, the following topics will be covered: physical properties of fluids, hydrostatics, kinematics, energy considerations, momentum, incompressible flow in pipes, compressible internal flow, pneumatic systems, flowloss calculations and flow measurement methods. Laboratory work will include calibration and use of equipment to measure hydrostatic forces on objects, verification of Bernoulli Equation, losses in piping system, flow profiles, and other fluid systems.
