Unique module numberETechn-9310-M
Module number / codeP-UM-02
Module nameEnergy and Thermodynamics Basics 2
Type of moduleCompulsory module
Learning outcomes, acquired competencies and qualification goals

After the successful participation in the course Fluid Mechanics Fundamentals the students:

  • measure the pressure and the velocity
  • calculate hydrostatic strength
  • determine the velocity profiles (in a pipe and inside the boundary layer) and determine the friction forces
Course typesVLmP+Ü (4 SWS)
Content

Students know fluid specifications, dimensions and units; the basic law of the hydrostatic; the applications (pressure variation, measuring pressure, hydrostatic force on a surface); fluid kinematics; dynamics of perfect incompressible fluids (Bernoulli equation, applications e.g. speed measurement); Euler theorem; dynamic of real incompressible fluids (Couette experience, laminar viscous flow, Poiseuille flow); concept of loss and singular linear load; boundary layer (concept of the boundary layer, local and global equations of the boundary layer, characteristics of the boundary layer, accurate and approximate solutions of the boundary layer); similitude and dimensional analysis; dynamics of elastic fluids (unidirectional flow); shockwave.
