 Course synopsis
 This course consists fundamental of fluid mechanics and
fluid power system. Fundamental of fluid mechanics
including properties of fluid, fluid in static and fluid in
motion. Fluid power system including fluid power principles,
devices, materials, hydraulic and pneumatic systems with
emphasis on pumps, compressors, motors and actuators.
 Course outcome
 CO1: Use the fundamental of fluid mechanics and fluid
power including properties of fluid, fluid flow, hydraulics
system and pneumatics system to solve problems in both of
these fields.
 CO2: Apply the Bernoulli’s equation and energy equation to
solve problems in fluid mechanics.
 CO3: Sketch and construct basic pneumatic and hydraulic
circuits, as well as construct own experimental techniques
in order to understand the fundamental concept of fluid
mechanics.
 CO4: Demonstrate theoretical and experimental data in
spoken presentation and written lab report.

• Final Exam and Test will not be similar@same

as in AL class/question/examples. If same, it is
a bonus
• You should not be like this !!!!
 Rule & Regulation
• No re-quiz or re-test!!.
• Attendances must not less then 80%. (3
Absence- Banned for Final Exam)
• 1 Hour class is Active Learning Class.
• Active Learning (AL), question will be given
to student and 2% fullmarks will be given to
the volunteers and 1% for Actively involve and
contribute in the AL class.
• Maximum Per CO is 2%, non Active gain 0%.
