COURSE SYNOPSIS

This course covers the fundamentals of pressure flow and gravity flow. For pressure flow,
application of energy equation on turbulent pipe flow, including estimation of friction and
separation losses and pipe network analysis will be discussed. For gravity flow, open channel
hydraulic and application of uniform flow in drainage design are presented. For non-uniform flow,
analysis of rapidly varied flow using specific energy diagram, and gradually varied flow surface
profile analysis and classification are introduced. Students will learn the application of orifice flow
and weir flow concepts in spillway and culvert design. Pump hydraulic, operation, performance,
design, and selection are also included.

The course addresses IEA Attributes No. 6 on intellectual agility, creativity and innovation,
emphasizing critical thinking and innovative processes in design and development of solutions,
incorporating 21st century skill in scientific literacy, critical thinking and problem-solving. Specific
focus will be given to SDG No. 9 on industry, innovation, and infrastructure.
