A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

INTRODUCTION
Fluid mechanics deals with
liquids and gases in motion
or at rest.
Mechanics: The oldest physical science that
deals with both stationary and moving
bodies under the influence of forces.
Statics: The branch of mechanics that
deals with bodies at rest.
Dynamics: The branch that deals with
bodies in motion.
Fluid mechanics: The science that deals
with the behavior of fluids at rest (fluid
statics) or in motion (fluid dynamics), and
the interaction of fluids with solids or other
fluids at the boundaries.
Fluid dynamics: Fluid mechanics is also
referred to as fluid dynamics by considering
fluids at rest as a special case of motion
with zero velocity.
Dr V.KANDAVEL Asp/Mech. SSMIET, DGL-2
9. 9
Hydrodynamics: The study of the motion of fluids that can be
approximated as incompressible (such as liquids, especially
water, and gases at low speeds).
Hydraulics: A subcategory of hydrodynamics, which deals with
liquid flows in pipes and open channels.
Gas dynamics: Deals with the flow of fluids that undergo
significant density changes, such as the flow of gases through
nozzles at high speeds.
Aerodynamics: Deals with the flow of gases (especially air) over
bodies such as aircraft, rockets, and automobiles at high or low
speeds.
Meteorology, oceanography, and hydrology: Deal with naturally
occurring flows.

10. • Fluid mechanics is a study of the behavior of fluids,
either at rest (fluid statics) or in motion (fluid dynamics).
• The analysis is based on the fundamental laws of
mechanics, which relate continuity of mass and energy
with force and momentum.
• An understanding of the properties and behavior of fluids
at rest and in motion is of great importance in
engineering.

Dr V.KANDAVEL Asp/Mech. SSMIET, DGL-2
11. 1.1 Definition of Fluid
• Fluid mechanics is a division in applied mechanics related to
the behaviour of liquid or gas which is either in rest or in
motion.
• The study related to a fluid in rest or stationary is referred
to fluid static, otherwise it is referred to as fluid dynamic.
• Fluid can be defined as a substance which can deform
continuously when being subjected to shear stress at any
magnitude. In other words, it can flow continuously as a
result of shearing action. This includes any liquid or gas.
11
Dr V.KANDAVEL Asp/Mech. SSMIET, DGL-2
12. Definition of Fluid
A fluid is a substance, which deforms continuously, or
flows, when subjected to shearing force
In fact if a shear stress is acting on a fluid it will flow
and if a fluid is at rest there is no shear stress acting on
it.
Fluid Flow Shear stress – Yes
Fluid Rest Shear stress – No
12
Dr V.KANDAVEL Asp/Mech. SSMIET, DGL-2
13. Contd.,
• Thus, with exception to solids, any other matters can be
categorised as fluid. In microscopic point of view, this
concept corresponds to loose or very loose bonding between
molecules of liquid or gas, respectively.
• Examples of typical fluid used in engineering applications are
water, oil and air.

between two parallel plates under
the influence of a shear force. The
shear stress shown is that on the
rubber—an equal but opposite shear
stress acts on the upper plate.
13
Dr V.KANDAVEL Asp/Mech. SSMIET, DGL-2
14. Fluid Concept
In fluid, the molecules can move freely but are constrained
through a traction force called cohesion. This force is
interchangeable from one molecule to another.
For gases, it is very weak which enables the gas to
disintegrate and move away from its container.
For liquids, it is stronger which is sufficient enough to hold
the molecule together and can withstand high compression,
which is suitable for application as hydraulic fluid such as oil.
On the surface, the cohesion forms a resultant force directed
into the liquid region and the combination of cohesion forces
between adjacent molecules from a tensioned membrane
known as free surface.

16. Shear stress in moving fluid
• If fluid is in motion, shear stress are developed if the
particles of the fluid move relative to each other. Adjacent
particles have different velocities, causing the shape of the
fluid to become distorted
• On the other hand, the velocity of the fluid is the same at
every point, no shear stress will be produced, the fluid
particles are at rest relative to each other.

17. Differences between liquid and gases
Liquid Gases
Difficult to compress and often
regarded as incompressible
Easily to compress – changes of volume is
large, cannot normally be neglected and
are related to temperature
Occupies a fixed volume and will
take the shape of the container
No fixed volume, it changes volume to
expand to fill the containing vessels
A free surface is formed if the
volume of container is greater than
the liquid.
Completely fill the vessel so that no free
surface is formed.
Unlike a liquid, a gas does
not form a free surface, and
it expands to fill the entire
available space.

20. Shear stress vs.
velocity gradient
Bingham plastic : resist a small shear stress but flow easily under large shear
stresses, e.g. sewage sludge, toothpaste, and jellies.
Pseudo plastic : most non-Newtonian fluids fall under this group. Viscosity
decreases with increasing velocity gradient, e.g. colloidal
substances like clay, milk, and cement.
Dilatants : viscosity decreases with increasing velocity gradient, e.g.
quicksand.

21. Units and Dimensions
• The primary quantities which are also referred to as basic
dimensions, such as L for length, T for time, M for mass and
Q for temperature.
• This dimension system is known as the MLT system where it
can be used to provide qualitative description for secondary
quantities, or derived dimensions, such as area (L), velocity
(LT-1) and density (ML-3).
• In some countries, the FLT system is also used, where the
quantity F stands for force.

Dr V.KANDAVEL Asp/Mech. SSMIET, DGL-2
22. 1.2 Units and Dimensions
• An example is a kinematic equation for the velocity V of a
uniformly accelerated body,
V = V0 + at
where V0 is the initial velocity, a the acceleration and t the
time interval. In terms for dimensions of the equation, we
can expand that
LT-1 = LT -1 + LT-2 • T

33. Viscosity
• Viscosity, , is the property of a fluid, due to cohesion and
interaction between molecules, which offers resistance to shear
deformation.
• Different fluids deform at different rates under the same shear
stress. The ease with which a fluid pours is an indication of its
viscosity. Fluid with a high viscosity such as syrup deforms more
slowly than fluid with a low viscosity such as water. The viscosity is
also known as dynamic viscosity.

35. Bulk Modulus
All fluids are compressible under the application of an external
force and when the force is removed they expand back to their
original volume.
The compressibility of a fluid is expressed by its bulk modulus of
elasticity, K, which describes the variation of volume with change
of pressure, i.e.
Thus, if the pressure intensity of a volume of fluid, , is increased
by Δp and the volume is changed by Δ, then

36. Vapor Pressure
A liquid in a closed container is subjected to a partial
vapor pressure in the space above the liquid due to the
escaping molecules from the surface;
It reaches a stage of equilibrium when this pressure
reaches saturated vapor pressure.
Since this depends upon molecular activity, which is a
function of temperature, the vapor pressure of a fluid
also depends on its temperature and increases with it.
If the pressure above a liquid reaches the vapor pressure
of the liquid, boiling occurs; for example if the pressure
is reduced sufficiently boiling may occur at room
temperature.
36
Dr V.KANDAVEL Asp/Mech. SSMIET, DGL-2
37. Engineering significance of vapor pressure
In a closed hydraulic system, Ex. in pipelines or pumps, water vaporizes
rapidly in regions where the pressure drops below the vapor pressure.
There will be local boiling and a cloud of vapor bubbles will form.
This phenomenon is known as cavitations, and can cause serious
problems, since the flow of fluid can sweep this cloud of bubbles on
into an area of higher pressure where the bubbles will collapse
suddenly.
If this should occur in contact with a solid surface, very serious
damage can result due to the very large force with which the liquid hits
the surface.
Cavitations can affect the performance of hydraulic machinery such as
pumps, turbines and propellers, and the impact of collapsing bubbles
can cause local erosion of metal surface.
Cavitations in a closed hydraulic system can be avoided by
maintaining the pressure above the vapor pressure everywhere in the
system.
37
Dr V.KANDAVEL Asp/Mech. SSMIET, DGL-2
38. Surface Tension
Liquids possess the properties of cohesion and adhesion due to molecular
attraction.
Due to the property of cohesion, liquids can resist small tensile forces at
the interface between the liquid and air, known as surface tension, .
Surface tension is defined as force per unit length, and its unit is N/m.
The reason for the existence of this force arises from intermolecular
attraction. In the body of the liquid (Fig. 1.2a), a molecule is surrounded
by other molecules and intermolecular forces are symmetrical and in
equilibrium.
At the surface of the liquid (Fig. 1.2b), a molecule has this force acting only
through 180.
This imbalance forces means that the molecules at the surface tend to be
drawn together, and they act rather like a very thin membrane under
tension.
This causes a slight deformation at the surface of the liquid (the meniscus
effect).
Figure 1.2: Surface Tension
38
Dr V.KANDAVEL Asp/Mech. SSMIET, DGL-2
39. A steel needle floating on water, the spherical shape of
dewdrops, and the rise or fall of liquid in capillary tubes is
the results of the surface tension.
Surface tension is usually very small compared with other
forces in fluid flows (e.g. surface tension for water at 20C is
0.0728 N/m).
Surface tension,, increases the pressure within a droplet of
liquid. The internal pressure, P, balancing the surface
tensional force of a spherical droplet of radius r, is given by

Dr V.KANDAVEL Asp/Mech. SSMIET, DGL-2
40. Capillarity
• The surface tension leads to the phenomenon known as capillarity
• where a column of liquid in a tube is supported in the absence of
an externally applied pressure.
• Rise or fall of a liquid in a capillary tube is caused by surface
tension and depends on the relative magnitude of cohesion of the
liquid and the adhesion of the liquid to the walls of the containing
vessels.
• Liquid rise in tubes if they wet a surface (adhesion > cohesion),
such as water, and fall in tubes that do not wet (cohesion >
adhesion), such as mercury.
• Capillarity is important when using tubes smaller than 10 mm (3/8
in.).
• For tube larger than 12 mm (1/2 in.) capillarity effects are
negligible.

56. Equations in Fluid Mechanics
Commonly used equations in fluid
mechanics - Bernoulli, conservation of
energy, conservation of mass, pressure,
Navier-Stokes, ideal gas law, Euler equations,
Laplace equations, Darcy-Weisbach Equation
and more
57. The Bernoulli Equation
The Bernoulli Equation - A statement of the conservation of energy in a form
useful for solving problems involving fluids. For a non-viscous, incompressible
fluid in steady flow, the sum of pressure, potential and kinetic energies per
unit volume is constant at any point.
Conservation laws
The conservation laws states that particular measurable properties of an
isolated physical system does not change as the system evolves.
Conservation of energy (including mass)
Fluid Mechanics and Conservation of Mass - The law of conservation of mass
states that mass can neither be created or destroyed.
The Continuity Equation - The Continuity Equation is a statement that mass is
conserved.
Darcy-Weisbach Equation
Pressure Loss and Head Loss due to Friction in Ducts and Tubes - Major loss -
head loss or pressure loss - due to friction in pipes and ducts.
as time-averaged values.
58. Euler Equations
In fluid dynamics, the Euler equations govern the motion of a compressible, inviscid
fluid. They correspond to the Navier-Stokes equations with zero viscosity, although
they are usually written in the form shown here because this emphasizes the fact
that they directly represent conservation of mass, momentum, and energy.
Laplace's Equation
The Laplace Equations describes the behavior of gravitational, electric, and fluid
potentials.
Ideal Gas Law
The Ideal Gas Law - For a perfect or ideal gas the change in density is directly related
to the change in temperature and pressure as expressed in the Ideal Gas Law.
Properties of Gas Mixtures - Special care must be taken for gas mixtures when using
the ideal gas law, calculating the mass, the individual gas constant or the density.
The Individual and Universal Gas Constant - The Individual and Universal Gas
Constant is common in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics.
Navier-Stokes Equations
The motion of a non-turbulent, Newtonian fluid is governed by the Navier-Stokes
equations. The equation can be used to model turbulent flow, where the fluid
parameters are interpreted
59. Pressure calculation
Pressure due to the weight of a liquid of constant density is given by
p=ρgh, where p is the pressure, h is the depth of the liquid, ρ is the
density of the liquid, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
65. Manometer Pressure
Manometers measure a pressure difference by balancing the weight
of a fluid column between the two pressures of interest.
Large pressure differences are measured with heavy fluids, such as
mercury (e.g. 760 mm Hg = 1 atmosphere).

104. Derive the Bernoulli’s equation with the basic
assumptions
• Euler's equation of motion:
– Statement:
• In an ideal incompressible fluid, when the flow is steady and
continuous, sum of the velocity head, pressure head and
datum head along a stream line is constant.
• Assumptions:
– The fluid is ideal and incompressible.
– Flow is steady and continuous.
– Flow is along streamline and it is 1-D.
– The velocity is uniform across the section and is equal to
the mean velocity.
– Flow is irrotational.

Bernoulli’s equation for real fluid:
Bernoulli‟s equation earlier derived was based on the assumption that fluid is
non viscous andtherefore frictionless. Practically, all fluids are real (and not ideal) and
therefore are viscous andas such always some losses in fluid flow. These losses have,
therefore, to be taken intoconsideration in the application of Bernoulli‟s equation which
gets modified (between sections 1& 2) for real fluids as follows:
