Fluid Mechanics & Hydraulic Machines

Fluid Mechanics & Hydraulic Machines is a foundational course in mechanical engineering that focuses on the behavior of fluids (liquids and gases) at rest and in motion, and the practical applications of fluid dynamics in engineering systems. The subject introduces the fundamental principles governing fluid flow, including concepts such as pressure, viscosity, flow rate, conservation of mass and momentum, and energy equations. The course covers analytical methods to study incompressible and compressible flows, laminar and turbulent regimes, and flow through pipes and channels. Emphasis is placed on understanding and applying Bernoulli’s equation, the continuity and momentum equations, and dimensional analysis. In the hydraulic machines portion, students explore the working principles, design, and performance analysis of devices such as pumps, turbines, and hydraulic systems. Topics include impact of jets, Pelton, Francis and Kaplan turbines, centrifugal and reciprocating pumps, and model testing using similarity laws. By the end of this course, students gain the theoretical background and practical insight necessary to analyze fluid systems and hydraulic machinery, which are critical in industries ranging from power generation and water supply to aerospace and process engineering.
