Course Code: SKTK2711 (Fluid Mechanics Total Contact Hours: 2 hours X 14 weeks Page : 1 of 5 Lecturer : Dr Syed Anuar Faua ad Syed Muhammad Room No. : N01a-202 24 Telephone No. : E-mail : syed@utm.my Synopsis : The aim of this laboratory course is for students to conduct experiment in conjunction with the theory course SKKC 2233 (Fluid Mechanics). There are a total 7 experiments for this course where two of them (Bourdoun Tube pressure gauge and Toricelli s Law), students needs to construct and setup by their own based on the fundamental knowledge and literature finding. Other experiments include the operation of flow measurement equipment (Ventruri nozzle, pitot tube, orifice and nozzle), flow through a piping system to determine major and minor loses. The lab runs closely with the lectures observation in such a way that experiments support the text covered in the class room.
