What Are the Topics Covered in CIVE1400: Fluid Mechanics?

AI Thread Summary
CIVE1400: Fluid Mechanics covers a comprehensive range of topics essential for understanding fluid behavior and dynamics. Key areas include the fundamentals of fluid as a continuum, classical mechanics applied to fluids, and the Navier-Stokes equations. The course also explores boundary layer theory, turbulence, and heat and mass transfer in fluid systems. Additional discussions focus on low and high Reynolds number flows, potential flow, and two-phase flow dynamics. This syllabus provides a solid foundation for students in civil engineering and related fields.

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
