The major objective of this unit is to acquire basic theory and principals of hydraulics and to develop students' ability to apply the knowledge of hydraulics to solve a wide range of engineering problems. Students are expected to develop a good degree of skills in problem identification, formulation and solution and be able to solve practical engineering problems using the skills established through the unit.<br/><br/>This unit covers fundamental knowledge about hydraulics and applications of hydraulics to engineering problems. Unit content includes pipe flow and pipeline network analysis, the operation of pumps and pump-pipeline analysis, pressure surge and surge control in pipelines,... -- Course Website
