16CE504 APPLIED HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING 3 1 0

OBJECTIVE

Student is introduced to open channel flow characteristics including hydraulic jump

and surges. Hydraulic machines viz flow through turbines and pumps including
their performance characteristics and design aspects are taught. Student, at the
end of the semester will have the abilities to analyse flow characteristics in open
channel and design hydraulic machines.

UNIT I : OPEN CHANNEL FLOW

12

Open channel flow Types and regimes of flow Wide open channel Specific
energy Critical flow and its computation. Uniform flow Velocity measurement
Mannings and Chezys formula Determination of roughness coefficients
Determination of normal depth and velocity Most economical sections

UNIT II : VARIED FLOW

12

Dynamic equations of gradually varied flow Assumptions Draw down and back
water curves -Characteristics of flow profiles Profile determination Graphical
integration, direct step and standard step method - Hydraulic jump Types
Energy dissipation Flow through transitions Surges in channels

UNIT III : MOMENTUM PRINCIPLE

12

Impulse momentum equation application of linear momentum principle Impact

of jet force exerted by a jet on normal, inclined and curved surfaces for stationary
and moving cases angular momentum principle construction of velocity vector
diagrams jet propulsion of ships.

UNIT IV : HYDRAULIC TURBINES

12

Classification working principles and design of Pelton wheel, Francis and Kaplan
turbines Velocity triangles efficiencies draft tube - theory and types specific
speed operating characteristics governing of turbines.

UNIT V : PUMPS
12
Classification - Centrifugal pump working principle velocity triangle - minimum
speed to start the pump multistage pumps specific speed - performance curves
Reciprocating pump components and working slip - indicator diagram and its
variation - air vessel working principle of Jet and submersible pump.

TOTAL: 60 Hours

OUTCOME :

At the end of the course, the student will be able to:

Visualize fluid flow phenomena observed in Civil Engineering systems such

as flow in a pipe, flow measurement through orifices, mouth pieces, notches
and weirs
Analyze fluid flows in open channel hydraulics and devices such as weirs and
flumes
Apply dimensional analysis
To study types of centrifugal Pumps, work done and efficiency of the
different types centrifugal pumps and also study about performance of
pumps & characteristic curves
To study about specific speed and performance characteristics of different
types of turbines
