This course on Fluid Mechanics aims to teach students the definition of fluids, pressure, density, viscosity, and continuum approximation. By the end of the course, students will be able to understand Pascal's Law, hydrostatic pressure, manometers, hydrostatic forces, buoyancy, conservation laws for control volumes, characteristics of flow in pipes, and pipe flow problems. The course covers topics such as the Bernoulli equation, pump and turbine efficiency, velocity profiles, major and minor losses in pipe systems, and different descriptions of fluid flow. The teaching method involves theoretical explanations, derivations, and problem-solving sessions. This course is intended for students or professionals interested in gaining a comprehensive understanding of fluid mechanics concepts and derivations.

Fluid mechanics
In this course I study about fluid mechanics and the concept about which the fluid works we study about control volume control mass and other many things which is needed for the flow of a liquid we also study about pressure volume mass moment etc -
Very well explained and well calculated
Useful for my studies and development of the knowledge for me -
The course is basic and easy. Professor will explain the concepts and give examples to solve during the class as tutorial assignments. The exams are more focused on conceptual and theoretical questions, including some questions on proving theorems. There are some numerical and objective questions as well. Exams are based on whatever is taught in class and given in lecture slides

It really helped a lot. I got to understand the importance of fluids and it's streams.I learned all the derivations and types of pressure acting on the fluid flows,also I learned the major looses in the pipes and minor losses in the pipes these losses helped me to calculate the flow of fluid according to the streams.
