Course description This course introduces the behaviour of ideal fluids and later on the flow of fluid past a solid boundary. It covers the effect of such flow on surfaces whereby the principle of lifting surfaces is demonstrated, and later on the effect on lift once the flow is lost. The course also covers the...Read More

Rationale   The course is designed to help students understand the concepts of electrical generation, transmission, distribution and usage, electrical drives, electrical instrumentation and measurements in relation to industrial applications. The course examines how Mechanical Engineers can understand and handle electrical engineering problems which they come across within their operational areas. Objectives   Appreciate the...Read More

Course Description This course covers the principles of deflection of beams, elastic stability of struts, thick cylinders, rotating discs and shafts, bending of circular plates, elastic stability of simple frames and mechanical springs. Course objective To study the behaviour of solid bodies under load. The way in which they react to applied forces, the deflections...Read More

Course description This course introduces the behaviour of fluids with a bias on liquids. It covers both the properties of fluids at rest (or relative equilibrium) looking at the forces exerted by the fluid on the surface and their effects, and the fluids in motion focusing on the change of energy as the fluid particles...Read More

Course Description This course deals with the behavior of solid bodies subjected to loads. It is to enable the student understand the way in which solid bodies behave under action of forces, the deflections that result and the stresses and strains set up in these bodies. It is to help the student in the design...Read More
