Remarks (specific information about assesment, entry requirements, etc.):
This course will be examined (closed book) in fall(end of 1st term) and winter(at the beginning of the 3rd term) each year

Goals:
This course is designed to describe in integral form the basic equations of fluid mechanics with applications to flow in pipes with head losses, wings and impeller blades, channel flow, Laval tube compressible flow, etc. An introduction to the transport of heat by conduction is given (one-dimensional form of Fourier's law ) and by convection of heat from/to fluids to/from solid walls.
