Fluid Mechanics: Fundamental Concepts, Fluid Properties (1 of 34)

[@NearlyFromAfar]

Holy moly! Lectures from Dr. Biddle! I took as many classes as I could from him when I was at CPP. He had that rare combination of being extremely knowledgeable, extremely patient, and mastery in the art of teaching. If you are trying to build a solid foundation of understanding on a topic, he's the guy. He needs to be cloned and distributed to all schools.

[@CPPMechEngTutorials]

That's why we recorded him. Fortunately he was eager to be recorded.

Hi quick question, does Dr. Biddle's 19 videos in this fluid mechanics 1 playlist teach everything that was in your fluids class? Cause I'm about to take my class this fall and we will meet up 3 times a week for 4 and a half months straight. Or is Dr. Biddle that good that he can summarize things in a much more efficiently and thus took less time to discuss everything? Thanks

[@averytolboe5304]

That feeling you get when you realize your whole semester is saved! Looking forward to watching this whole series, thanks for the great video!

Now, when Universities are closed due to pandemic, these kind of courses are invaluable.

I give my thanks and hoping that this channel would never stop uploading videos that help aspiring engineers👍👍

The pandemic has slowed us down a bit, but we will keep working on it.

[@aaronetheredge3257]

Preparing for Thermal & Fluids PE. Didn't realize how much I've forgotten. Excellent video. Also, a note to those that are post-grads (such as myself): Don't fall into the trap of thinking you're better than watching undergrad videos. 4 years of working abstract derivations (i.e., derive navier stokes in a spherical coordinate system with xyz conditions) is great, but for PE applications, many need to dust off the calculator every once in awhile. Excellent series.

[@ishakaimen1576]

I really hope you see this comment Professor Biddle. Never ever have I enjoyed a class of engineering like this! I don't know whats your secret for teaching so well, but you're an amazing teacher! I wish you have taught me all my 4 years in engineering college!

[@CPPMechEngTutorials]

Thanks for the nice comment.

[@Indefinite87]

I don't know where it was during my grad, but I am doing it now, and I can not convey my respect and gratitude enough for whoever took the initiative to record the lectures. Thank you very much

[@CPPMechEngTutorials]

It was a team effort that took place over many years... and still ongoing.

[@pw9683]

Dr. Biddle's lectures are the reason I passed my fluids paper last year. As an aspiring Hydraulic engineer I will no doubt visit this series in the near future. The explanation and camera work is just top notch. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You guys are the best!!

[@CPPMechEngTutorials]

Thanks!

[@belisariogonzalez7793]

Such an underrated Professor. By far one if not the best professors I had at Cal Poly... I wish the newer professors would watch his videos and learn how to teach effectively.

[@henryfleming5778]

Just would like to point out, the answer he says at 49:37, "the thickness is one ten-thousandth of an inch" is wrong. He meant to say that the thickness is one ten-thousandth of a FOOT, his answer should be 1.17e-4 ft, which is 1.4e-3 in. Otherwise, it was a fantastic lecture.

[@toddmckissick2931]

Surprised no one caught this but it's actually ten times thicker. 11.7e-4 ft = 1.17e-3 ft = 1.4e-2 in = .014 in That's about 1 1/2 playing cards thick.

Man this guy kicks ass at teaching Fluids. My Fluids professor knows his stuff but isn't all that great at teaching it. I really think video lecturing is just superior to in class lectures because I can pause and go back if something confuses me.

[@medotedo8410]

At 49:17 the correct answer is 1.167 e-4 ft. The lecture was fantastic and informative.

[@CPPMechEngTutorials]

Thanks. A correction has been added to the video notes.

[@MarikaKarawalevu]

did it 3x and it came to the same answer so I thought I was losing it, scrolled through and found this.

Took fluids last semester and heat transfer this one, you honestly are providing the best service because instead of kids being forced to cheat in school because tenured professors cannot teach well, you actually explain it well and teach us properly. God bless you man, and thanks for being such a great teacher

Dr. Biddle is a very good lecturer. He is very patient in explaining the subject matter. It is much better for him to use the board than some other teachers using the power point. He allows students to follow much better this way.

It's like learning another language! It's tought, sometimes it sucks, but we have to accept that! I'm Brazilian and I have difficult with this English units too, but we have to play the game yo... And for me the most unnaturall unit it is temperature in Fahrenheit. It blows my mind hahaha

Juan Pablo but the scientific community around the world agreed on a common unit for the sake of efficient communication. You can practice being “bilingual” on your own, but using these units is only slowing down the scientific and mathematical processes and adding more room for errors

@cppmechengtutorials thank you for this lecture - much appreciated. At 49.00: all units of measurement cancel out. From a mathematics perspective 'dy' should have remained instead of 'd'. Therefore 'dy' = 1.17e-4 'unitless' should have remained as the answer. An explanation of 'dy' = 'thickness in ft' should have been explained afterwards - for clarity? Just trying to make sense of this for my exams. Please email or respond, it would be great to hear your thoughts on this.
