Introduction to Practical Hydraulics

Learning Outcomes

The governing precepts of hydraulics, an awareness of how hydraulics underpins most other topics within environmental engineering and science.
To understand relationships between hydraulic factors in environmental systems and energy consumption.
To increase awareness of emerging issues in hydraulics and environmental systems.
To think holistically about environmental design, including physics, biology and chemistry.
To be capable of performing simple calculations related to hydraulic flow, pressure and energy as they pertain to transmission in water and waste systems.
To be able to design simple pipe and open channel systems and to be able to select and operate pumps correctly.
