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.
