Describe the main properties of incompressible fluids.ILO2. Calculate hydrostatic pressure resulting from one or more fluids and use it to analyse pressure measurement systems.ILO3. Classify the flow regimes in pipes and open channels based on the Reynolds number.ILO4. Apply mass, energy, and force balances (the Continuity and Bernoulli’s equations) to different flow scenarios in pipes, flow measurement, and open channels.ILO5. Analyse real piping systems including pressure drop in pipes, systems of pipes, and how to represent pipe systems.ILO6. Classify pumps according to their principle of operation and select the correct pump characteristics for a given piping system. <div><div>Fundamental aspects supporting the critical learning of the module will be delivered as pre-recorded asynchronous short videos via our virtual learning environment. These will be supported by synchronous sessions with master lecture content, Q&A, and problem-solving sessions where you can apply the new concepts.Surgery hours are also available for drop-in support.Students are expected to expand the concepts presented in the session and online by additional reading (suggested in the Online Reading List) in order to consolidate their learning process and further stimulate their interest to the module.</div></div> 0 Other 20% 1 Written exam 80% Mid-semester exam-style assessment Feedback on problems and examples, feedback on coursework and exams, and support will also be provided through the virtual learning environment. A discussion board provides an opportunity to discuss topics related to the material presented in the module.
