HYDRAULICS

 Introduction, goals and objectives of this course;  Physical properties of liquids;  Pressure variation in liquid flow;  Ideal liquid flow, without pressure losses;  Pressure losses in pipeline networks;  Real liquid flow, with pressure losses;  Laminar pipe flow with pressure losses ;  Pipe flows without and with pressure losses;  Turbulent pipe flow with pressure losses;  Diagram of Nikuradse for laminar and turbulent pipeline flows;  Steady-state flow in pipeline networks;  Types of pipeline networks;  Main principles for designing pipeline networks  Conclusions regarding the relevance of hydraulics in environmental engineering

 usage of basic hydraulic notions in solving environmental pollution problems;  gaining basic notions for further analysing and designing pipeline networks, especially for water supply;  good expertise retrieval and systematic knowledge on the basis of deeper insights within the study of environmental pollution and protection subjects.
