  • Evaluate centrifugal and reciprocating pumps

Who it is for

  • B.Tech Mechanical Engineering students of Semester 3 (AKTU)
  • Students of other universities studying the same subject who want unit-wise coaching

What you need

  • Engineering Mechanics and Class 12 Physics
  • Basic calculus

Questions

Which syllabus does the Fluid Mechanics and Fluid Machines course follow?

It follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus for Fluid Mechanics and Fluid Machines. If your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university syllabus.

Will this help in the university examination?

Yes. Teaching is unit-wise as per the AKTU scheme, with previous-year question practice, MCQ tests and doubt sessions before the semester exam.

Is this the same as the civil engineering fluid mechanics course?

The fluid mechanics part is similar, but this mechanical course adds turbines and pumps in more depth as per the AKTU mechanical syllabus.
