Catalog Description

Laminar and turbulent flows. Friction factor in pipe flow. Computation of flow in single pipes. Hydraulic machinery: turbines and pumps. Pipeline systems and networks. General characteristics and classification of open channel flow: pressure and velocity distribution. Continuity equation. Energy concept. Momentum principle. Uniform flow. Rapidly varied flow, gradually varied flow.

Course Objectives

The aim of the course is to teach the basic concepts of flows in pipes and open channels; to apply continuity, momentum and energy principles for the solution of various pipeline and open channel problems.

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1.Identify various characteristics of pipe flow,

2.Apply flow conservation equations and principles to analyze a variety of pipe flows,

3.Calculate basic design parameters for pumped and gravity pipeline systems and pipe networks,

4.Discuss the general characteristics of open-channel flow,

5.Apply specific energy and specific force equations to uniform and non-uniform flow in open channels,

6.Calculate rapidly and gradually varied flow characteristics in non-uniform open channel flows,

7.Determine design dimensions in uniform flow for erodible and non-erodible channels,

8.Design experiments on pipe flow and open channel flow.
