CE8403 Applied Hydraulic Engineering Syllabus:

CE8403 Applied Hydraulic Engineering Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2017

OBJECTIVES:

• To introduce the students to various hydraulic engineering problems like open channel flows and hydraulic machines.
• At the completion of the course, the student should be able to relate the theory and practice of problems in hydraulic engineering.

UNIT I UNIFORM FLOW

Definition and differences between pipe flow and open channel flow – Types of Flow – Properties of open channel – Velocity distribution in open channel – Steady uniform flow: Chezy equation, Manning equation – Best hydraulic sections for uniform flow – Wide open channel – Specific energy and specific force – Critical flow .

UNIT II GRADUALLY VARIED FLOW

Dynamic equations of gradually varied flows – Types of flow profiles – Classifications: Computation by Direct step method and Standard step method – Control section – Break in Grade – Computation.

UNIT III RAPIDLY VARIED FLOW

Application of the momentum equation for RVF – Hydraulic jumps – Types – Energy dissipation – Celerity – Rapidly varied unsteady flows (positive and negative surges)

UNIT IV TURBINES

Impact of Jet on flat, curved plates, Stationary and Moving –Classification of Turbines – Pelton wheel – Francis turbine – Kaplan turbine – Specific speed – Characteristic Curves of Turbines￾Draft tube and cavitation.

UNIT V PUMPS

Classification of Pumps – Centrifugal pumps – Work done – Minimum speed to start the pump – NPSH – Multistage pumps – Characteristics curve – Reciprocating pumps – Negative slip – Indicator diagrams and its variations – Air vessels – Savings in work done.
