Course Description

This course covers the application of energy equation on incompressible pipe flow and analysis of pipe network to establish the design principles of water supply engineering. The design of open channel based on uniform flow condition will be discussed, followed by the application of specific energy concept and momentum equation for the analysis of non uniform flow. Analysis of pump operation and performance and pump design are also introduced.
