Objectives of the Course
Fluid mechanics consists of basic principles on momentum transfer which are crucial in Food Engineering Unit Operations in general. In this course, fluids and flows systems are examined by the engineering approach. It is aimed that students learn the basic principles of fluid mechanics and make practice in real food systems by solving related problems.
Name of Lecturer(s)
Doç. Dr. İbrahim Hakkı KARAKAŞ
Learning Outcomes
1To learn the differences between the static and dynamic conditions in fluid mechanics
2To understand the basic principles of momentum transfer
3To take opportunity to be analyzer and evaluator by using capabilities taken in mathematics and physics courses.
4To learn the classification in the types of fluid and flow
5To have capability in making mass, energy and momentum balances and to understand the analogy between them
6To make design, analysis, solving and evaluation for any pumping system given
7To understand the important points on selection of pipes, pump, other equipments and flow-meters in the design of flow systems systems by taking account of hygienic, energy and environmental principles

Course Contents
Fluid mechanics course will be discussed in two main parts; the fluid statics and fluid dynamics. The properties and behavior of static fluid in system was learnt in fluid statics section, however flow and interaction with the surrounding was learnt in fluid dynamics section.
