modules

Hydraulic engineering is concerned with the flow and transportations of fluids, and hydraulic systems use the force of liquids to transmit power. This module gives you the understanding you need to analyse and modify existing hydraulic systems and design new systems to British Standards.  

You will learn about the dynamic behavior of water in structures and devices used to control the flow of water. These include pipelines, tunnels, pumps, turbines, valves, open channels, dams, spillways, gates and weirs. Furthermore, you will learn about models used to describe water behavior and the theory behind those models. Finally, you will gain a full understanding of analytical and experimental tools for designing and checking hydraulic systems and structures.

Prerequisite module: ECM1206 Mechanics or equivalent
