- LO2. conduct and report laboratory experiments
- LO3. define properties of fluids that govern fluid flow including their units and dimensions
- LO4. solve simple fluid statics problems
- LO5. apply fundamental equations for the conservation of mass, momentum and energy to moving bodies of fluid
- LO6. analyse common fluid flow systems including piping, pumps and valves
- LO7. apply dimensional analysis to determine the characteristics of a scale model or prototype
- LO8. understand and apply the concepts and principles of flow measurement for compressible and incompressible fluids
- LO9. derive simple fluid flow formulae from fundamental equations and explain the simplifying assumptions involved.
