Fluid Mechanics N6 is an advanced-level course that builds upon the foundational concepts introduced in Fluid Mechanics N5. The course is designed to provide students with a deeper understanding of fluid behavior and its practical applications in industrial systems.

The main aim of the course is to equip students with the knowledge and skills to solve complex problems in the field of fluid mechanics. Students will engage with theoretical principles and develop the ability to analyse and apply these in real-world contexts, particularly in engineering and industrial environments.

Key topics covered include:

• Flow in pipes and hydraulic gradient

• Open channel flow

• Flow through orifices

• Pumps and ventilation systems

• Water turbines, including Pelton wheels

• Vortex flow

To enroll, students must have successfully passed Fluid Mechanics N5. The course is delivered over 7.5 hours per week for full-time students and is also available part-time.

Assessment is based on continuous internal evaluation and a final examination. The promotion mark consists of 40% internal assessment and 60% final exam. A minimum of 40% is required in both components to pass.

This course is essential for students pursuing careers in mechanical, civil, or industrial engineering, as it focuses on industry-relevant systems and prepares students for workplace challenges in the fluid mechanics field.
