HW
Homework assignments 1 through 3 were done in preparation for the Unit 1 Test, and covered the properties of fluids, pressure, and buoyancy. During the assignments, it was cruicial to have a detailed understanding of how fluids create and apply pressure in both closed and open systems. Buoyancy was covered in the third assignment, and taught an understanding of what different properties affect how an object reacts when placed into a fluid, as well as how to calculate the stability of those objects.

Homework assignments 11 and 12 were done in preparation for the final exam, which was focused on the selection of pumps and pipes for use in industrial design. Both assignments looked at how appropriate pumps were selected for specific applications and how to calculate the necessary attributes that a system would require to accomplish a given task.
