    Kimutai Kirui Alphonce
    This document provides an overview of the course ECE 2203: Fluid Mechanics I. The course will cover topics such as fluid properties, fluid statics, buoyancy, fluid kinetics including the continuity equation and Bernoulli's equation. Recommended textbooks and references for the course are also listed. Fluid mechanics is the branch of mechanics that deals with fluids and gases. It involves the behavior of solid bodies interacting with liquids and gases. The key differences between solids, liquids, and gases are discussed. Civil engineering applications of fluid mechanics include water distribution networks, drainage, flood defenses, and hydraulic structures. SI units will be used, with key units being meters, kilograms, seconds, and newtons.

    Fluid Mechanics
    Mechanics Science concerned with the behavior of physical bodies
    when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent
    effects of the bodies on their environment.

    Mechanics involves force, energy, motion, deformation, and material


    properties.

    When mechanics applies to material bodies in the solid phase, the


    discipline is called solid mechanics.

    When the material body is in the gas or liquid phase, the discipline is
    called fluid mechanics.
    Fluids
    A fluid is a substance whose molecules move freely past each other. More
    specifically, a fluid is a substance that will continuously deformthat is,
    flow under the action of a shear stress.

    Fluids: Subset of the phases of matter and include liquids, gases, plasmas
    and, to some extent, plastic solids.

    Fluids can be defined as substances that have zero shear modulus or in


    simpler terms a fluid is a substance which cannot resist any shear force
    applied to it.

    The provision of adequate water services to society:
    The supply of potable water; Water distribution network
    Drainage
    Sea and river (flood) defenses; Water retaining structures.
    Sewerage (sanitation) networks;
    Hydraulic design of water/sewage treatment works;
    Dams
    Irrigation
    Pumps and Turbines
    System of units
    On this course we will
    always use the SI (metric)
    system.
    Primary Units

    The SI system consists of six


    primary units, from which
    all quantities may be
    described.

    For convenience secondary


    units are used in general
    practise which are made
    from combinations of these
    primary units.
    In fluid mechanics we are generally only interested in the top
    four units from this table.
    Secondary/ Derived Units
    There are many derived units
    all obtained from combination
    of the primary units
