COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course progresses knowledge of Fluid Mechanics-I to advanced principles. Students will learn the basics
of conservation laws governing fluid flow. The primary focus will be the introduction, analysis, and design of
pipe flows followed by introduction to turbomachinery employed in hydraulic structures and daily use.
