Properties of Fluids in an Engineering Context

Beschreibung

Lecture Notes from the year 2015 in the subject Engineering - System Science, grade: 1.0, , course: Civil Engineering, language: English, abstract: This script discusses the different properties of fluids. In a general context, fluids are classified as either a liquid or gases, although in other textbooks, it also incorporates plasma as part of its scope. The coverage of this script is limited to the detail discussion of the fluid properties such as the density, viscosity, compressibility and elasticity, vapor pressure, surface tension and capillary rise or depression. Specific problems are presented with detailed solutions to guide the reader on the step by step procedure of solving in an engineering point of view. The study of fluid mechanics is utilized in the field of engineering most specifically on engineering structures that incorporates the conveyance of fluids in the system. Pipelines and machines like turbines and engines also use the principles of fluid mechanics. Thus, it is cognizant to learn the basics of the properties of fluids in order to have a better grasp of the principles of fluids in application to engineering works. The units that were used in the illustrations are all in metric system.

I am a Philippine registered civil engineer and registered professional secondary teacher. I had passed the Civil Engineers Licensure Examination of the Philippine Regulation Commission (PRC) with a general average of 85.45%. I have been working for 20 years in various fields of civil engineering both in the construction industry and in the academe. At present, I am working as a full-time professor of Far Eastern University (FEU) Institute of Technology. I worked with Daewoo Engineering and Construction Co., Ltd. as Civil Engineer/Quantity Surveyor for the construction of Safi Independent Power Plant Project in Safi, Morocco. In Safi Project, I am in-charge with the design review and incorporate changes and improvement in the Bar Bending schedule submitted by the subcontractors and site construction management which involves planning and supervision. I perform analysis to develop design solutions using computer softwares such as Structural Analysis Program (SAP), Structural Analysis Aided Design (STAAD), GeoSlope, Plaxis and AutoCAD2010. I also worked as Design Engineer in Duqm Drydock and Shipyard Project and as Civil Engineer in Sur Independent Power Plant (SIPP) Project both in Sultanate of Oman under Daewoo Engineering and Construction Co., Ltd. Moreover, I also have varied experiences in engineering education as College Instructor and Engineering Department Head in the University of Eastern Philippines Laoang campus from 2003-2007. I worked as Laboratory Technical Instructor in the Civil Engineering department of Salalah College of Technology (SCT) in Salalah, Sultanate of Oman in 2007-2008. Subsequently, I worked as Professor in the Civil Engineering department in Adamson University, Manila, Philippines. My last employment as a Professor was in Mizan Tepi University, Ethiopia, as an Associate Professor in civil engineering department. As a Professor in the academe, I provide significant contribution through quality education in handling civil engineering courses which also includes assisting the students in their research endeavors. In addition, I also had relevant experiences in various positions in the civil engineering industry such as, quantity surveyor, project engineer, project development officer and technical writer. I had completed the degrees in Master in Civil Engineering (MCE) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Educational Management with specialization on civil engineering curriculum.
