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.
