Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course, the students;

  1. Identify conditions under which flows are turbulent and derive equations that approximate its properties (time averages and fluctuations). Compare turbulent flow with those of laminar flow.
  2. Apply macroscopic balances to fluid flow design problems for processes (pressure drop in pipes, choosing pipe dimensions, pumping requirements)
  3. Ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
  4. Ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic
  5. The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
  6. Ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
