Dear all,
Welcome to CP4016 blog page. This blog has been specially designed to complement and supplement lessons taught in class. =)
If you have any comments, doubts or questions, feel free to post them on this blog. CP4016 module team will take the time and effort to review them.

Units & Dimension
What Happened to the Mars Surveyor Orbiter?
Search the internet and find out what happened to the orbiter. Then do a quick survey. Alternatively, post your answers as comments to this post.

Fluid Flow Phenomena
Fluid Fluid
What is a fluid? Let's find out what you think a fluid is.
Relationship of Viscosity & Temperature - It's a Complicated Story
Viscosity is temperamental. It changes with temperature. For liquids, it decreases with higher temperature. However for gases, it increases with higher temperature. Do you know why?
Find out the reason(s) and do this survey. Alternatively, give your answers as comments to this post.
Pressure & Depth
What's their relationship? See this clip.
Boiling Water Without Heat?!
Can you boil water without heat? Yes, you can. Don't believe. See it for yourself.
Fluids Are Also Stressed!!
Fluids can also be stressed. How? When they are subjected under shear force. Complete this short survey to see if you can handle (fluid) stress well.
It's a Fluid!? It's a Solid!?
Watch this video and decide for yourself then.
Laminar, Transitional, Turbulent
Know how to differentiate the different flow regimes? Watch the following video.
Reynolds Reynolds
Now that you know all about Reynolds number, try this question.

Basic Fluid Equations
Assumptions
Search the internet and find out some of the assumptions that we make when we use fluid equations like Continuity or Bernoulli's equation. Fill in your discoveries here.
Bernoulli's Effect - The Experiments
Why can't you blow the ping pong ball out of the funnel? Is it due to the funnel size? Or you just do not have enough "air power"?
Watch this video for inspiration. Is it magic or otherwise?
Can you blow a bag to fill it up with air in just ONE breath? Look at this.
Make your toilet paper fly?! Watch this.
The ball loves the water. Huh?! Why? See this.
CBD Central Business District?
Nah... That is Continuity, Bernoulli and Darcy equations! =p Now that we have come to the end of our lesson, try this out.
