Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer

Base Knowledge

Physics, Mathematics

Teaching Methodologies

Expository classes to present the theoretical content. Practical classes for solving application exercises.

Learning Results

The objectives of the curricular unit include: understanding of the fundamental basic principles and concepts of Fluid Mechanics, such as viscosity, pressure, mass conservation principle, energy conservation principle and viscous dissipation; application of basic principles to the derivation of the equations that govern the behavior of fluids in motion, namely the Bernoulli equation; understanding the flow of fluids through pipes and distinguishing between the laminar and turbulent regimes; calculation of pressure losses in a pipe and associated accidents; physical and mathematical understanding of heat transfer mechanisms; prediction of heat transfer coefficients for forced and natural convection.

Program
