This course on fluid mechanics includes fluid statics, energy concepts in fluid dynamics, fluid flow in pipes, pump selection and open channel flow. Students are assigned problems that reflect situations found in industry.
The course also includes an introduction to municipal service design. Some hydrologic concepts are introduced and the rational method is applied to storm sewer design.
Upon completion of this course, the student will have a good understanding of the principles of fluid mechanics as applied to practical problems.
Prerequisite: EDDT 150, PHYS 151, PHYS 161, MATH 154, MATH 164 or MATH 114, MATH 124
