Hydraulics (26456)

1. Subject Details: Subject Aims:Hydraulics is one of the important subjects of Civil Engineering diploma graduate. Its content Fluid pressure, Buoyancy, Principles of flow of fluid, Flow through Orifices and Mouthpieces, L head losses of flowing liquid, Friction and flow through pipes, Flow of liquid through Notches and Weirs, Flow of liquid through Open channel, Measurement of velocity and discharge of flow by current-meter and float. After completion the course, student will be able to know characteristic of fluid, fluid pressure, different type of head losses, friction and should perform have to operate different type of velocity measuring equipment, measuring of velocity of Notches, Weir, Open channel and discharge of fluid. Therefore, the subject of Hydraulics is very important for Civil Engineering diploma graduate.
