Finding; Continuum Mechanics
- Governing (Differential) Equations
Fluid Mechanics
- Initial & Boundary Conditions Heat Transfer

-Analytical Solution: Exact (if simple)or Approximation

-Numerical Solution : Programing
or Using a Software
Therefore, we must find the Governing Differential Equations,
After that, Simplifying them regarding the physics of the problem
and also choosing the right Initial & Boundary Conditions

 Unannounced Quiz 1
General Regulations for Quizzes;
1- Write your name and surname , students number, date and the
quiz number , plus your signature on the top of a blank paper.
2- When the quiz starts, do not talk, walk, speak and look around
…up to the end of collection.

3- If you finished your writing before the collection time, turn

your paper and just wait until collection please.

4- When the time is up, do not write any more, turn your paper
and the first person on the right hand side (on each row), pass
his/her paper to the left hand side… I will collect them at the last
left ones from each row.

5- I will not accept any delayed papers!

6- After the quiz the class will be continued
