FLUID MECHANICS
Rationale :
Besides the use of solids, use/application and handling of fluids (e.g. both liquids and gases) is in
wide spectrum of engineering practice. Fluid statics, fluid flow phenomena, flow measurement, fluid
flow through pipe lines, fluidized bed etc. in an industry is essentially important. There are many units
processes particularly in chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, hydro-metallurgical etc. plants in
which fluid flow phenomena are of fundamental importance in design consideration. It is therefore,
necessary for an engineer planning career in chemical, petrochemical etc. industries to study fluid flow
phenomena, selection of the characteristics of different fluid transportation and flow control devices.
