Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
To present the fundamental concepts and principles of fluid dynamics, hydrostatic and Hydraulics. To enable students to carry out elementary calculations on fluid motion or on fluid rest and apply the idea of similarity in relation to model testing. To illustrate these principles by applications in engineering.
Syllabus:
Physical Properties of a fluid. Hydrostatic. Integral Relations for a Control Volume: Conservation of Mass, Linear Momentum Equation, Angular Momentum Equation, Energy Conservation. Dimensional Analysis and Similarity: The Pi Theorem, Nondimensionalization of the equations, Similarity. Viscous Flows in Ducts: losses in pipe systems, multiple pipe systems.
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
Teaching and learning methods were thought of to consolidate conceptual and theoretical knowledge and enhance practical application of theoretical concepts. Project analysis and interpretation will be done whenever adequate in order to stimulate practical oriented study. Proposed skills development will take place through exercises developed in class, group and/or individual project analysis in the classroom or as individual work.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
Based in two partial tests (75%) and two pratical tests (25%). Exam for the students who fail in the tests.
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
In chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4 the objectives are: to acquire knowledge on the basic variables for fluid related problem analysis; to differentiate the types of flow and, draw assumptions and relate to equations commonly used in fluid mechanics and hydraulics problems solving; to calculate buoyancy and stability of hydraulic structures; to confirm the continuity, the conservation of energy and conservation of momentum equations; In chapters 5, 6 and 7 the objectives are: is to work with equations governing flow in pipelines; to analyze water distribution networks and quantify pressures, flow rates and their associations to water quality; to assess the operating conditions of pumps in buildings, pumping stations WTP, WWTP, distribution networks, etc. In chapter 8 the objective is to work with the equations governing Steady Flow In Open Channels, that occurs in the transport of wastewater and urban storm water systems and streams.
