Midterm Exams: Two midterm exams are scheduled from 79 PM on the following dates (Room TBD): Tuesday September 25th November 4th The final exam slot is December 15th 8-10 AM American with Disabilities Act Policy Statement The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that provides comprehensive civil rights protection for persons with disabilities. Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities.

Scholastic Dishonesty As commonly defined, plagiarism consists of passing off ones own the ideas, work, writings, etc., which belong to another. In accordance with this definition, you are committing plagiarism if you copy the work of another person and turn it in as your own, even if you should have the permission of that person. Plagiarism is one of the worst academic sins, for the plagiarist destroys the trust among colleagues without which research cannot be safely communicated. If you have questions regarding plagiarism, please consult the latest issue of the Texas A&M University Student Rules, under the section Scholastic Dishonesty at http://www.tamu.edu/aggiehonor. An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal, or tolerate those who do.

Course Learning Outcomes Upon completing this course, students will be able to: 1. State and formulate conservation principles for fluid mechanics in macroscopic and continuum systems including mass, linear momentum, angular momentum, and energy. 2. Apply conservation of mass and linear momentum to simple Newtonian fluid mechanics problems such as Poiseulle and Couette flow. 3. State and apply empirical correlations for use in pipe sizing, estimating friction loss, etc. 4. Size pipes, pumps and compressors given deign criteria. 5. Apply correlations for measuring and sizing flow controllers, estimate pressure losses due to measuring apparatus, and understand differences between apparatuses (e.g. Venturi versus orifice meter). 6. Understand the differences between the bulk flow versus flow in porous media.
