Textbook:

Applied Fluid Mechanics by Robert L Mott, Prentice Hall, 6th Edition

Prerequisite:

MET 230, MA 222 or consent of instructor

Instructor:

Professor Neff   Office: ANDR-208D, (219) 989-2465   Email: gneff@purdue.edu

Office Hours:

MW 5-6:30 PM, 8-8:30 PM,  TR 3:30 - 4:30 PM and by appointment  (Check schedule card outside office for changes)

Course Purpose:

The fundamental principles of fluid mechanics are developed, including properties of fluid, pressure hydrostatics, dynamics of fluid flow, friction losses, and sizing of pipes. Emphasis is on problem solving.

Student Objectives:
 
 After completing this course the student should be able to:

1.

Understand the fundamental concepts and properties of fluids. (4.1, a, b, c, f)

2.

Know the equations of hydrostatics, Archimedes principle and their application.  (4.1, 4.2, a, b, c, f)

3.

Apply the conservation equations and Bernoulli equation to problems in fluid flow. (4.1, 4.2, a, b, c, f)

4.

Use laminar & turbulent flow regimes to calculate head or pressure loss in fluid flow systems. (4.1, 4.2, a, b, c, f)

5.

Analyze performance of pumps & selection of pumps for a given application. (4.1, 4.2, a, b, c, f)

6.

Measure & interpret flow and pressure measurements from a variety of common measuring devices. (4.1, 4.2, a, b, c, f)

7.

State concepts of drag & lift forces in immersed bodies. (4.1, 4.2, a, b, c, f)

8.

Demonstrate how to size circular pipes and non-circular sections. (4.1, 4.2, a, b, c, f)

Mott - Fluid Mechanics

Homework is due the first Monday after it is assigned. Homework will not be accepted if it is submitted late unless prior arrangements have been made. Not all homework will be collected and graded. All work (Homework, Tests, Lab reports, and quizzes) will be graded on clarity of communication, neatness, spelling, grammar, timeliness, adherence to instructions, and accuracy.  No partial credit will be given unless equations are shown.

Reasonable accommodations will be provided for students with documented disabilities. Please discuss these with me during the first week of class. Also, make an appointment with the Office of Student Support Services, Student Faculty Library Center, Room 431, phone number 219/989-2455 (voice) or 219/989-2454 (telecommunications device for the deaf) for an individualized service plan of accommodations.

Ethics are an integral part of being a student and a professional. Academic integrity is the hallmark of this university. Therefore Purdue University Calumet does not tolerate academic dishonesty in any form. If a student breaches integrity, the student risks sanctions in both the academic and conduct arenas. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, the unauthorized use of other's intellectual property (plagiarism), and lying to an instructor or other university employee. Such actions WILL result in a failing grade on the assignment with the strong possibility of course failure, and the strong possibility of referral to the Office of the Dean of Students for a conduct sanction (see Purdue University's student handbook).

WebCT Vista will be used for multiple choice questions and the required course evaluation / assessment.

The student handbook states "Students are expected to attend every meeting of the classes in which they are enrolled. At the beginning of a semester, all instructors should make a statement to each of their classes regarding the handling of unavoidable absences. All matters relative to such absences, including making up of work missed, shall be arranged by the student and instructor involved. A student who is absent may be denied credit for work missed."  The policy for this course is that unavoidable absences may be made up by arrangement with the instructor.  Excessive absences may be referred to the Office of the Dean of Students or his designee who can administratively drop the student.  Students are responsible for dropping courses to avoid a failing grade before the drop deadline which is Friday of the 12th week of the semester by 4:30 PM.  No instructor or advisor permission or signature is required. See the Academic/Registration Calendar from the Office of the Registrar for the exact date.
