American with Disabilities Act Policy Statement
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal
anti-discrimination statute
that provides comprehensive civil rights protection for persons
with disabilities. Amongother things, this legislation requires
that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a
learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation
of their disabilities. If
you believe you have a disability requiring an accommodation,
please contact the
Department of Student Life, Services for Students with
Disabilities, in B118 Cain Hall orcall 845-1637.
Scholastic Dishonesty
As commonly defined, plagiarism consists of passing off ones own
the ideas, work,
writings, etc., which belong to another. In accordance with this
definition, you are
committing plagiarism if you copy the work of another person and
turn it in as your own,even if you should have the permission of
that person. Plagiarism is one of the worst
academic sins, for the plagiarist destroys the trust among
colleagues without which
research cannot be safely communicated. If you have questions
regarding plagiarism,please consult the latest issue of the Texas
A&M University Student Rules, under the
section Scholastic Dishonesty at http://www.tamu.edu/aggiehonor.

Course Learning Outcomes
Upon completing this course, students will be able to:
1. State and formulate conservation principles for fluid
mechanics in macroscopicand continuum systems including mass,
linear momentum, angular momentum,
and energy.2. Apply conservation of mass and linear momentum to
simple Newtonian fluidmechanics problems such as Poiseulle and
Couette flow.
3. State and apply empirical correlations for use in pipe
sizing, estimating frictionloss, etc.
4. Size pipes, pumps and compressors given deign criteria.5.
Apply correlations for measuring and sizing flow controllers,
estimate pressure
losses due to measuring apparatus, and understand differences
between
apparatuses (e.g. Venturi versus orifice meter).
6. Understand the differences between the bulk flow versus flow
in porous media.
