fluid mechnics is it an area in mechanics or a course of its own?

Fluid mechanics refers to a specific discipline dealing with the flow of fluids.

Of course (but perhaps I am biased :-)  ).  Mechanical Engineers are involved in practically every industry.  I feel that is practically the most versatile engineering degree.  Pretty much every product has been touched by a mechanical engineer, but you can't really say that about other types of engineering.  ME's work with electronics, aerospace, chemical-related companies, food companies, HVAC, structures, materials, cars/transportation, manufacturing & production, biomedical companies, and the list goes on and on...  \n\nAero/Astro engineers... aero/astro companies\nElectrical engineers... electronics\nCivil engineers... buildings/bridges/structures, etc.\nChemical engineers... pharmaceutical, foods, chemicals...\nMaterials science engineers... materials.\n...Just to list a few other fields.\n\nLike I said before, I am a recent ME grad, so of course I am biased towards my own degree.  But ANY engineering is a great field to get into in general.  I have always felt that there seem to be a lot more opportunities for ME's than a lot of other engineering majors, however.  We can work with practically every industry, and there will never be a lack of jobs in this field, because practically everything requires it.

If I understand you correctly, the definition of your degree is something like ...\nMechatronics is the synergistic combination of mechanical engineering, electronics, controls engineering, and computers, all integrated through the design process. It involves the application of complex decision making to the operation of physical systems. Mechatronic systems depend for their unique functionality on computer software.\n\nIf that is the case - stay on top of nearly everything that is occurring in the electronic field (in terms of computing power, electrical interfaces, electromechanical interfaces, and specific-use devices). Also keep abreast of microminiaturization for electrical and mechanical components. Finally, keep up with what's going on in terms of computer "language" associated with your discipline. Learn 'em all ...

Fundamental subjects of mechanical engineering typically include:\nstatics & dynamics \nstrength of materials \nsolid mechanics, \ninstrumentation and measurement, \nthermodynamics, heat transfer, energy conversion, and refrigeration / air conditioning, \nfluid mechanics and dynamics, \nmechanism design (including kinematics and dynamics), \nmanufacturing technology or processes, \nengineering design, \nmechatronics and/or control theory, \ndrafting or CAD/CAM. [5][6] \nMechanical engineers are also expected to understand and be able to apply basic concepts from chemistry, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, and physics. Most mechanical engineering programs include several semesters of calculus, as well as advanced mathematical concepts which may include differential equations and partial differential equations, linear and modern algebra, and differential geometry, among others.\n\nIn addition to the core mechanical engineering curriculum, many mechanical engineering programs offer more specialized programs and classes, such as mechatronics / robotics, transport and logistics, cryogenics, fuel technology, automotive engineering, biomechanics, vibration, optics and others, if a separate department does not exist for these subjects.[7]\n\nVR

In non viscous fluid mechanics, there are essetially two principle in play : 1. the Principle of Continuity 2. The Bernoulli's Principle\n\n The former states that the rate of flow of liquid is same throughout the length of a pipe etc. i.e A1 * V1 = A2 * V2 ( where A and V are the Area of Cross section and Velocity of liquid at different stages)\nThus, when u squeeze the hose the A decreases and to maintain the equation the V has to increase.\n\nThe Bernoulli's Principle relates the Energies of two different stages :\n P1 + 1/2 p*V1*V1 + p*g*H1 = P2 + 1/2 p*V2*V2 + p*g*H2\n\nWhere P,p,H are the Pressure, density and Height.\n\nSURPRISINGLY, using the above eqn, we find that when we squeeze the hose, the PRESSURE actually decreases rather than what we think logically.

I think u need to specify whats the level of study, is it undergrads or graduate or postgrads!!!!!\nUngergraduate courses differ from inistitution to inistituion. Generally u are supposed to know about the physical techniques  employed to understand physiological phenomenon, the relationship between physical laws and biological function.....\nGraduate and postgraduate level is more interdesciplinary.\n\nUse:\nIf we know the force balance in our foot or hand, how electrical nerve impulse can be read, we can construct artificial hands or feet.\nOrgans for replacement are getting harder these days. Biomechanical engineers try to build mechanical devices which can be used in place of damaged organs like heart, kidney and so on.\nThere may be several implications.

pneumatics means the air-pressure that could be used to actuate a on/off valve (or) a control valve (or) a piston etc.\n\nmechantronics is the study of the application of mechanical engineering combined with electronics.\n most of its concentration is on Robotics sort of applications.

i thought the some subject matters only, marine course is too far the mechanical engineers, you know marine engineer is how the machineries in the ship run while the mechanical is the capacity of machineries lke the geothermal plant is example,factory plant.this is not a doctor can be a nurse or nurse can be a doctor.

In the US there are universities that teach petroleum engineering. I'm sure a web search can give you more information. In addition to the usual engineering courses in physics, chemistry, math, thermodynamics, statics and dymanics, there will be courses in geology and other areas directly related to oil exploration and production.

You'll be studying the flow of air.  Topics will most likely include compressibility, wing design, Bernouilli's principles, laminar flow, supersonic flow, and many others.  This is at least what is presented in an entry-level course at a university.

mechanical engineering \nmore specifically mechatronics\nit is a combination of mechanical engineering and electronics.\nfor the designing part special short courses has to be taken but it would be easy to take after mechanical engg.

On your first question, what is mechatronics; Well it is a combinations of Mechanical, Robotics and Electronics. This is a new fields that rise after people realized on the needs of the this 3 fields engineering to be combine and have as mechatronics. \nUsually in this field,\nMechanic - the knowledge of gears, material selecting, motors..etc.\nRobotics - program, IC design & programing, ..etc\nElectronic - circuit board, IC installing, wiring, power supply... etc.\n\nautomation is a separted division where this field is under the mechanical division while the mechatronics is under electric and electronic division.

*gasps*\n\nMathematics is the basis for all functioning.  It explains or deliniates everything we do from a biological standpoint to a mechanical standpoint.\n\nThere is scarcely anything that isn't governed by math.

well, I'm afraid that physics is everything around you, have you noticed the word "physical"? simply physics is the reason there's a daily life to talk about in the first place, physics is used to make the PC you are using, the monitor you are looking at, the speakers, the satellite for communications and GPS systems....etc.\nAlso, physics isn't only about electromagnetic and stuff.... mechanics is also physics, aerodynamics... electronics as well and there's also physical chemistry, you might not like it or at least see it clearly but it's because it's in everything around you...

Gravity, friction and centrifigul.  Don't forget various applications of force = leverage, pulleys.
