Office Hours: A golden time to build up your skills and excel in the
course with my golden advices on the course topics and strengthen
your engineering skills in the subject.
Homework Assignments: Homework assignments are bonus points it
will only benefit you if you spend the necessary time to understand the
basics and solve the problems yourself. Keep up with the homework
assignments, as the topics in this course build upon each other.
Quizzes: Focused assessment by chapter to monitor your progress and
discover your weakness in the chapter. If you do bad in quizzes you
must rethink: (1) the way you solved your homework ,and (2)
reconsider to efficiently use the office hours.
Be Professional and watch the deadlines: In your professional life
dedication and keeping deadlines are your keys for success, No One
(neither your boss nor you client) will respect your excuses for a
delayed work. Start here and teach your self the wisdom of an
organized professional learning.

Examination Policy
Examinations will deal with your class work, textbook problems. Nevertheless,
due to the difficulties associated with course your textbook will be never
enough to get an A in this course. Use the additional references to be
better prepared.
Examinations are closed book and only complex Formulas will be provided.
Attendance Policy
The University of Sharjah Attendance Policy applies to this course
The classroom doors will be closed 10 minutes after the class start time.
Assignment Delay Policy
1 day of delay will reduce your assignment grade by 1.
2 days delay mean -2 and so on… if assignment is delayed by one week,
there will be not grade.

FLUID MECHANICS
14
Fluid: Fluids are substance which area capable of flowing and
conforming the shapes of container.
Fluids can be in gas or liquid states.
Mechanics: Mechanics is the branch of science that deals with
the state of rest or motion of body under the action of forces.
Fluid Mechanics: Branch of mechanic that deals with the
response or behavior of fluid either at rest or in motion.
Branches of Fluid Mechanics
15
Fluid Statics: It is the branch of fluid mechanics which deals
with the response/behavior of fluid when they are at rest.
Fluid kinematics: It deals with the response of fluid when
they are in motion without considering the energies and
forces in them.
Hydrodynamics: It deals with the behavior of fluids when
they are in motion considering energies and forces in them.
Hydraulics: It is the most important and
practical/experimental branch of fluid mechanics which
deals with the behavior of water and other fluid either at rest
or in motion.
Significance of Fluid Mechanics
16
Fluid is the most abundant available substance e.g., air,
gases, ocean, river and canal etc.

each other
Liquids have relatively more
molecular attraction

Rate of diffusion of liquid is less
Gases do not have any definite
volume
Gases do not have free level
surface
Molecules of gases are far apart
Gases have less molecular
attraction
Gases are highly compressible
Gases have higher rate of
diffusion
Comparison Between Liquids and Solids
19

container
Liquid can flow
Molecules of liquid are distinctly
apart
Liquid have relatively less
molecular attraction
Liquid are slightly compressible
Liquids cannot sustain shear
forces

container
Solids cannot flow
Molecules of solids are very
close to each other
Solids have more molecular
attraction
Solids are highly incompressible
Solids can sustain shear
