Overview

The Applied Hydraulics course explains the basic concepts of Liquid properties, the effect of liquids on solid bodies and the movement of water in open pipes, channels and water streams. It also illustrates different water measurements and the application of equations in hydraulics such as flow measurements in open pipes and sewers.

Intended learning outcomes

By the end of the course the student will be able to:

Acknowledge and understanding.

A.1. Illustrate the natural properties of liquids.

A.2. Understand the principles of pressure and hydrostatic force on different surfaces.

A.3. Definition of flow methods in pipes, its types, and related terms.

B. Mental skills

B.1. The ability to accommodate different properties of liquids.

B. 2. Enabling the student to be able to estimate the losses in hydrostatic pressures in pipes.

B.3. Ability to apply momentum to water streams and pipes.

C. Scientific and professional skills.

C.1. Students learn how to build-up a research team in the field and laboratory.

C.2. students learn how to help decision makers in the field of water flow in pipes.

C.3. Using available software and tools in calculating hydrostatic pressures in irrigation pipes.

D. General and transferable skills.

D.1. Being able to direct the student to the importance of safe operation of hydraulic systems.

D.2. Definition of problems associated with fluid movement in pipes.

D.3. The student should be able to choose hydraulic measuring devices and methods of operation.
