The course MET201 - Mechanics Of Fluids, taught by the department of mechanical (Mech) engineering at Kerala Technological University, is required of all mechanical engineering students. The course is intended to provide students with a solid foundation in the fundamental principles of solid mechanics. The MOF course covers a variety of topics, including the fundamentals of solid mechanics, stress and strain, elasticity and plasticity, fracture mechanics, and more.
A fluid machine is a device that converts fluid energy into mechanical energy or vice versa. Potential, kinetic, and intermolecular energy are all forms of energy stored by a fluid mass. A rotating shaft, on the other hand, is commonly used to transmit mechanical energy. Hydraulic machines are those that use liquid (mostly water for almost all practical purposes). Depending on the purpose, fluid machines use either liquid or gas as the working fluid.
Kerala Notes is a site that provides easy-to-understand notes for students of KTU MOF (Kerala Technological University). The notes are available for free and can be accessed by anyone. The site also has a forum where students can ask questions and get help from other students and the staff.
