Fluid Flow Fundamentals
Course No. M-6011	Back to Mechanical Courses
Credit: 6 PDH
Course Fee: $164.95

Overview

This course covers the basics of fluid flow. You will learn the difference between laminar and turbulent flow, how to calculate Reynolds Number and how to do simple piping friction loss calculations. Learn the difference between pressure head, velocity head and elevation head, which are the components that comprise the Bernoulli Equation – the basic equation of fluid flow. Understand the differences between single phase and two phase flow.

This course is appropriate for civil and mechanical engineers looking for a refresher course on fluid flow, as well as electrical, control systems and structural engineers looking to expand their knowledge base. The course is based on Volume 3 of DOE-HDBK-1012/1-92, “Fluid Flow”.

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of thirty (30) questions at the end of the course to earn PDH credits.
