CE6403 APPLIED HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING 1 SYLLABUS

4TH SEMESTER CIVIL SYLLABUS
REGULATION 2013

OBJECTIVES:

• To introduce the students to various hydraulic engineering problems like open channel flows and hydraulic machines. 
• At the completion of the course, the student should be able to relate the theory and practice of problems in hydraulic engineering.

UNIT I UNIFORM FLOW

Definition and differences between pipe flow and open channel flow - Types of Flow - Properties of open channel - Fundamental equations - Velocity distribution in open channel - Steady uniform flow: Chezy equation, Manning equation - Best hydraulic sections for uniform flow - Computation in Uniform Flow - Specific energy and specific force - Critical depth and velocity.

UNIT II GRADUALLY V ARIED FLOW

Dynamic equations of gradually varied and spatially varied flows - Water surface flow profile

classifications: Hydraulic Slope, Hydraulic Curve - Profile determination by Numerical method: Direct step method and Standard step method, Graphical method - Applications.

UNIT III RAPIDLY VARIED FLOW

Application of the energy equation for RVF - Critical depth and velocity - Critical, Sub-critical and Super-critical flow - Application of the momentum equation for RVF - Hydraulic jumps - Types - Energy dissipation - Surges and surge through channel transitions.

UNIT IV TURBINES

Impact of Jet on vanes - Turbines - Classification - Reaction turbines - Francis turbine, Radial flow turbines, draft tube and cavitation - Propeller and Kaplan turbines - Impulse turbine - Performance of turbine - Specific speed - Runaway speed - Similarity laws.

UNIT V PUMPS

Centrifugal pumps - Minimum speed to start the pump - NPSH - Cavitations in pumps - Operating characteristics - Multistage pumps - Reciprocating pumps - Negative slip - Flow separation conditions - Air vessels, indicator diagrams and its variations - Savings in work done - Rotary pumps: Gear pump.

TOTAL (L:45+T:15): 60 PERIODS

OUTCOMES:

• The students will be able to apply their knowledge of fluid mechanics in addressing problems in open channels. 
• They will possess the skills to solve problems in uniform, gradually and rapidly varied flows in steady state conditions.
• They will have knowledge in hydraulic machineries (pumps and turbines).
