Fluid Mechanics encompasses the study of all types of fluids under static,
Course kinematics, and dynamic conditions. The study of the properties of fluid is basic for
Description the understanding of the flow or static condition of fluids. The important properties
are density, viscosity, surface tension, bulk modulus, and vapor pressure.
1. To identify the different types of fluid and their properties and behavior under
various conditions.
2. Know the scientific method strategies to fluid mechanics: analyze qualitatively and
quantitatively the problem situation, and propose hypotheses and solutions.
3. Formulate and analyze problems related to the calculation of forces in fluid-
