ENAM12003 - Engineering Fluids

General Information

Unit Synopsis

This unit introduces you to key concepts and principles required to analyse problems involving in engineering fluids. You will be able to explain how fluid properties relate to one another, apply principles of fluid statics, and analyse force and power associated with fluid flow. You will be able to analyse head loss and pump performance in pipe systems, select fluid machines for given applications, and analyse drag acting on bodies in fluid flow. You will be able to prepare technical and laboratory reports that demonstrate critical evaluation of results and experimental uncertainties.

Attendance Requirements

All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Assessment Overview

Recommended Student Time Commitment

Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

Assessment Tasks

Assessment Task Weighting
1. Practical and Written Assessment 20%
2. Online Quiz(zes) 20%
3. Written Assessment 30%
4. Written Assessment 30%

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).

Unit learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:

  1. Describe the basic properties of fluids, and the relationship between different fluid properties
  2. Apply the fundamentals of fluid mechanics to investigate pressure, buoyancy and hydrostatic forces
  3. Analyse force and power associated with the fluid flow using the continuity, Bernoulli and impulse-momentum equations
  4. Analyse head loss in pipes, fittings and pipe systems, and determine pump performance (duty point) in piping systems
  5. Explain the characteristics of fluid machines and select machines suitable for given applications
  6. Determine drag forces acting on standard shaped objects in fluid flows
  7. Work autonomously and in teams to prepare reports using appropriate engineering language.
