CE2202 - Mechanics of Fluids Syllabus Copy 3rd Semester - Civil Engineering | Anna University

                          CE2201 is the subject code for "Mechanics of Fluids" Subject of B.E Civil Engineering 3rd Semester Students. Students those who are all studying 2nd year 3rd semester B.E civil engineering at Anna University or Anna University affiliated colleges all are applicable to below syllabus. I have listed the syllabus copy of CE2202 - "Mechanics of Fluids" Which will help the 3rd semester civil,engineering ann university students to find the exact syllabus, text books and reference books. 

                                      CE2202 MECHANICS OF FLUIDS 

OBJECTIVE

The student is introduced to the definition and properties of fluid. Principles of fluid statics,

kinematics and dynamics are dealt with subsequently. The application of similitude and model

study are covered subsequently. After undergoing this course, the student would have learnt

fluid properties and application to real situations of fluid flow.

UNIT I DEFINITIONS AND FLUID PROPERTIES 

Definitions – Fluid and fluid mechanics – Dimensions and units – Fluid properties – Continuum

Concept of system and control volume

UNIT II FLUID STATICS & KINEMATICS 

Pascal’s Law and Hydrostatic equation – Forces on plane and curved surfaces – Buoyancy –

Meta centre – Pressure measurement – Fluid mass under relative equilibrium

Fluid Kinematics

Stream, streak and path lines – Classification of flows – Continuity equation (one, two and three

dimensional forms) – Stream and potential functions – flow nets – Velocity measurement (Pilot

tube, current meter, Hot wire and hot film anemometer, float technique, Laser Doppler

velocimetry)

UNIT III FLUID DYNAMICS 

Euler and Bernoulli’s equations – Application of Bernoulli’s equation – Discharge measurement

– Laminar flows through pipes and between plates – Hagen Poiseuille equation – Turbulent flow

– Darcy-Weisbach formula – Moody diagram – Momentum Principle

UNIT IV BOUNDARY LAYER AND FLOW THROUGH PIPES 

Definition of boundary layer – Thickness and classification – Displacement and momentum

thickness – Development of laminar and turbulent flows in circular pipes – Major and minor

losses of flow in pipes – Pipes in series and in parallel – Pipe network27

UNIT V SIMILITUDE AND MODEL STUDY 

Dimensional Analysis – Rayleigh’s method, Buckingham’s Pi-theorem – Similitude and models –

Scale effect and distorted models.

TOTAL (L:45+T:15): 60 PERIODS
