Experiments to be performed beyond Syllabus

1. Introduction to CFD
2. ANSYS Simulation of 1D fluid flow in turbine.
Course Objective

Study the various types of flow.

Study the various practical applications of Meta-centric height
Analyze the friction coefficient in various pipes
Study the various flow and pressure measurement devices.
Solve different types of problems related to fluid flow in pipes, design the
experiments effectively and do the prototype studies of different types of
machines and phenomenon.
Where and how will this subject help?

This course is designed for the undergraduate mechanical engineering students to develop
an understanding of the behavior of fluids at rest or in motion and the subsequent effects
of the fluids on the boundaries as the mechanical engineers has to deal with fluids in
various applications. This course will also develop analytical abilities related to fluid
flow. It is expected that students will be able to have conceptual understanding of fluids
and their properties, apply the analytical tools to solve different types of problems related
to fluid flow in pipes, design the experiments effectively and do the prototype studies of
different types of machines and phenomenon.
