Intro to Fluid Mechanics for Engineering Students Part 1

via Udemy

Overview

The basics of pressure, hydrostatics, buoyancy and more

What you'll learn:
  • Ideal gas law, viscosity, absolute and gage pressure
  • Hydrostatic forces on plane and curved surfaces
  • Buoyancy and stability
  • Pressure measurement with barometers and manometers
  • & more!

Are you tired of struggling in your Fluids class?

If you answered yes, then this course is for you! Here you'll find easy to understand lectures and plenty of fully worked examples to help you learn the challenging subject of Fluid Mechanics.

This course is the first in a 3-course series designed to teach the fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics.

Here's what we'll cover

This course covers the following topics that are generally found in a university-level Intro to Fluids class:

  • Properties of fluids - pressure, density, etc.

  • Ideal gas law

  • Viscosity

  • Hydrostatic forces of plane and curved surfaces

  • Buoyancy

  • Accelerating liquids

  • And more!

Here's what you get when you enroll

  • Lifetime access to the course

  • Easy-to-follow, on-demand lecture videos

  • 36 fully worked examples in a variety of difficulty levels

  • 13 Homework sets with solutions

  • Downloadable outline of notes to help you create an organized set of notes and to help you follow along

What's the format of the course?

Let me just say that I hate engineering courses taught with PowerPoint slides. Due to this, you will not find slides here.

I think people learn better when they have to write the material. That means the majority of my lectures are handwritten. I give you a brief outline of notes to help you follow along and to help minimize the length of the videos.

Speaking of video length... am I the only one who doesn't like watching hour-long lecture videos? I didn't think so.

To eliminate that frustration my lectures are broken up into shorter segments, typically 12-15 minutes.

And if you are here for examples, I made them easy to find. Almost all the examples are in their own videos, that way you can look through the notes and pick and choose which ones you want to watch.
