Fluid Mechanics notes for second-year B.Tech Mechanical and Civil Engineering students. Covers fluid properties and viscosity, fluid statics and manometers, buoyancy, types of flow and the continuity equation, Bernoulli's equation with the venturimeter and Pitot tube, laminar and turbulent flow, losses in pipes, and the boundary layer, with labelled diagrams, velocity profiles, formula tables, solved numericals and exam questions. Includes 6 labelled diagrams: Shear stress against velocity gradient, for different types of fluid; A U-tube manometer measuring gauge pressure at A: p_A + ρ₁gh₁ = ρ₂gh₂; Common ways to classify fluid flow; Using Bernoulli's equation to solve a flow problem; Velocity profile in a pipe: laminar is a parabola and turbulent is much flatter across the centre; How a boundary layer develops along a flat plate.
