Learning Outcomes:

On successful completion of this course students will be able to use the basic fluid mechanics principles to solve pipe and channel flow problems, apply the knowledge of mathematics and fluid mechanics to design and conduct experiments to analyze and interpret data and analyze and design pipeline systems and open channel systems.

Specifically, students will be able to,

1. Identify and understand various characteristics of the flow in pipes.
2. Discuss the main properties of laminar and turbulent pipe flow and appreciate their differences.
3. Analyze losses in straight portions of pipes as well as those in various pipe system components.
4. Apply appropriate equations and principles to analyze a variety of pipe flow situations.
5. Predict flow rate in a pipe by use of common flow meters.
6. Determine the hydraulic characteristics of pipeline systems.
7. Discuss the general characteristics of open-channel flow.
8. Use a specific energy diagram.
9. Apply appropriate equations to analyze open-channel flow with uniform depth.
10. Calculate key properties of a hydraulic jump.
11. Determine the dimensions of an open-channel.
