Fluid Mechanics 1

In this unit, you will explore the fundamental principles governing the behaviour of fluids at rest and in motion, forming a foundation for advanced mechanical and civil engineering applications. You will analyse hydrostatics, fluid dynamics, and energy transfer through practical and theoretical frameworks that connect scientific concepts with real-world systems such as pipelines, pumps, and flow measurement devices.



Through laboratory experiments, simulations, and analytical problem-solving, you will investigate pressure forces, buoyancy, stability, and fluid flow behaviour under different conditions. Emphasis is placed on applying core engineering principles, interpreting experimental data, and developing the analytical skills needed to evaluate and design efficient, safe, and sustainable fluid systems. By the end of the unit, you will be equipped to apply engineering reasoning and teamwork to solve practical problems in fluid mechanics consistent with professional engineering standards.
