The objective of this course is to provide the student a basic understanding of Fluid Mechanics: Mass Conservation Law, Momentum Conservations Law and Energy Conservation Law. Knowledge mastered in this course: - Identify the fluid domain and understand the interaction with its surroundings. - Apply properly the above mentioned conservation laws to obtain forces, moments, power and heat exchange. - Determine the dominant terms in the conservation equations - Determine the adequate methodology to obtain the required variables in an engineering problem (calculus, experiments, etc.) - Present results in a rational manner, in terms of the relevant parameters. - Comprehension of basic terminology to understand technical documentation and specific literature. Specific capacities: - Obtention of pressure fields in fluid statics. - Determination of forces and moments exerted by a fluid on a surface. - Determination of power and heat exchange between a fluid and its surroundings. - Determination of head losses in flow in ducts. - Aplication of Dimensional Analysis principles to reduce the number of parameters in a generic problem. General capabilities: - Analysis based on scientific principles. - Multidisciplinar approach (use knowledge from several disciplines: Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Calculus, etc.) - Capacity to locate and understand basic literature on the subject. Attitudes: - Analytical attitude - Critical attitude - Cooperative attitude
