Unit Code: CED506

Unit Name: Hydraulics I

Description: Civil engineers play a vital role in the optimal planning, design and operation of water resource systems. When designing infrastructure such as water distribution systems, pumping stations, dams, and treatment plants, typically engineering technicians need to understand both fluid statics and dynamics to assist civil engineers in providing services such as supply of potable water, drainage and sewerage system. In this course you will learn, fundamental principles of fluid behaviours to derive the essential equations used in hydraulic design. These principles cover both static and dynamic behaviour of fluids and the loss of energy due to friction. The course aims to establish basic tools and methodologies for carrying out fluid mechanic and hydraulic analyses of simple hydraulic engineering systems, which will provide a basis for future studies in Hydraulics 2.
