This course is an introduction to fluids and flow. Topics include: fluid properties, fluid statics, fluid dynamics, continuity, momentum (Bernoulli Equation), and energy principles, laminar and turbulent flow, boundary layers, dimensional analysis and similarity, closed conduit flow, free surface flow, and turbomachinery design. Labs are included. Prerequisites: EGR-380 and MAT-255. Prerequisite or Corequisite: MAT-265.

The first of a sequence of two senior courses including a capstone engineering project that entails the theoretical or experimental investigation of design problems. The nature and scope of the project are determined by the student in consultation with a faculty supervisor. A written preliminary technical report is required. All seniors meet weekly to discuss their projects as teams or individually with their supervisor. Prerequisite: Senior status.
