Intro to Fluid Mechanics for Engineering Students Part 2

Kinematics of Fluids, Reynolds Transport Theorem, Conservation of Mass, Linear Momentum, Bernoulli's Equation and more

Course updated 2/2026

Are you tired of struggling in your Fluids class?

If you answered yes, then this course is for you! Here you'll find easy-to-understand lectures and plenty of fully-worked examples to help you learn the challenging subject of Fluid Mechanics.

This course is the second in a 3-course series designed to teach the fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics. In this section, we dive into the world of fluid in motion... this is where it starts getting good!

Here's what we'll cover

This course covers the following topics that are generally found in a university-level Intro to Fluids class:

• Streamtubes, Pathlines, Streaklines

• Fluid Acceleration

• Reynolds Transport Theorem

• Conservation of Mass

• Volumetric Flow

• Linear Momentum Equation

• Bernoulli Equation

• And more!

Here's what you get when you enroll

• Lifetime access to the course

• Easy to follow, on-demand lecture videos

• Plenty of fully-worked examples in a variety of difficulty levels

• 8 homework sets with solutions

• Downloadable outline of notes to help you create an organized set of notes and to help you follow along

Textbook Reference

Fluid Mechanics, 2nd Edition by R.C. Hibbeler

We will cover chapters 3-6 from the Hibbeler textbook

What's the format of the course?

Let me just say that I hate engineering courses taught with PowerPoint slides. Due to this, you will not find slides here.

I think people learn better when they have to write the material. That means the majority of my lectures are handwritten. I give you an outline of notes to help you follow along and to help minimize the length of the videos.

Speaking of video length... am I the only one who doesn't like watching hour-long lecture videos? I didn't think so.

To eliminate that frustration, my lectures are broken up into shorter segments, typically 12-15 minutes.

And if you are here for examples, I made them easy to find. Almost all the examples are in their own videos, that way you can look through the notes and pick and choose which ones you want to watch.
