CIVL-2066Hydromatics
This course consists of two modules (Modules A and B). The first module entitled “Ideal Fluids” covers the basic properties of fluids and their use in calculating static pressure and hydrostatic forces on plane surfaces. Module A describes various types of flow in closed conduits and enables the student to solve problems related to fluid flow under ideal conditions. Module B entitled “Real Fluids” covers measurements of fluids and enables the student to solve hydraulic problems involving friction and energy losses in closed conduits (pressure flow). Similar concepts are used to solve problems in open channels (gravity flow).
