This module introduces the fundamental principles of fluid behavior. It begins with fluid mechanics, focusing on fluids at rest (hydrostatics) and in motion (hydrodynamics), including concepts like pressure, buoyancy, flow rate, and Bernoulli’s theorem.
It then explores surface tension, explaining how cohesive forces at the liquid's surface lead to phenomena such as droplet formation and capillary action.
The topic of viscosity follows, examining a fluid’s resistance to flow and internal friction, with emphasis on Newtonian fluids and Poiseuille’s law.
Finally, stresses in materials are introduced, focusing on how internal forces respond to external loads, including tensile, compressive, and shear stress, and their relation to strain through Hooke’s law.
