Course Description:	Laminar and turbulent flows. Friction factor in pipe flow. Computation of flow in single pipes: Hydraulic machinery: turbines and pumps. Pipeline systems and networks. General characteristics and classification of open channel flow: pressure and velocity distribution. Continuity equation. Energy concept. Momentum principle. Uniform flow. Rapidly varied flow gradually-varied flow. Design of nonerodible and erodible channels.
Course Objectives:	At the end of the course, students must appreciate the differences of laminar and turbulent flows and the various characteristics of the flow in pipes. will know to calculate the Friction factor in pipe flow, Calculate the losses in the straight portion of pipes as well as those in various pipe system components. Computation of flow in single pipes. Apply appropriate equations and principles to analyze a variety of pipe flow situations. Predict the flow rate in a pipe by use of common flowmeter. Hydraulic machinery, flow through turbines and pumps including their performance characteristics and design aspects are taught. Pipeline systems and networks.Student, at the end of the semester, will have the abilities to analyze and design a pipe network and have the concept of hydraulic machines.
