CE3401 APPLIED HYDRAULICS ENGINEERING
L T P C: 3 1 0 4 | Total Hours: 60 Periods
COURSE OBJECTIVES
- To impart basic knowledge to the students about the open channel flows with analysis of uniform flow, gradually varied flow and rapidly varied flow and to expose them to basic principles of working of hydraulic machineries and to design Pelton wheel, Francis and Kaplan turbine, Centrifugal and Reciprocating pumps.
UNIT I: UNIFORM FLOW
Definition and differences between pipe flow and open channel flow - Types of Flow - Properties of open channel - Fundamental equations - Sub-critical, Super-critical and Critical flow - Velocity distribution in open channel - Steady uniform flow: Chezy's equation, Manning equation - Best hydraulic sections for uniform flow - Computation in Uniform Flow - Specific energy and specific force.
UNIT II: VARIED FLOWS
Dynamic equations of gradually varied - Water surface flow profile classifications: Hydraulic Slope, Hydraulic Curve - Profile determination by Numerical method: Direct step method and Standard step method - Change in Grades.
UNIT III: RAPIDLY VARIED FLOWS
Application of the momentum equation for RVF - Hydraulic jumps - Types - Energy dissipation - Positive and Negative surges.
UNIT IV: TURBINES
Turbines - Classification - Impulse turbine - Pelton wheel - Reaction turbines - Francis turbine - Kaplan turbine - Draft tube - Cavitation - Performance of turbine - Specific speed - Runaway speed - Minimum Speed to start the pump.
UNIT V: PUMPS
Centrifugal pumps - Minimum speed to start the pump - NPSH - Cavitation's in pumps - Operating characteristics - Multistage pumps - Reciprocating pumps - Negative slip - Indicator diagrams and its variations - Air vessels - Savings in workdone.
COURSE OUTCOMES
On completion of the course, the student is expected to:
- CO1: Describe the basics of open channel flow, its classification and analysis of uniform flow in steady state conditions with specific energy concept and its application
- CO2: Analyse steady gradually varied flow, water surface profiles and its length calculation using direct and standard step methods with change in water surface profiles due to change in grades.
- CO3: Derive the relationship among the sequent depths of steady rapidly varied flow and estimating energy loss in hydraulic jump with exposure to positive and negative surges.
- CO4: Design turbines and explain the working principle
- CO5: Differentiate pumps and explain the working principle with characteristic curves and design centrifugal and reciprocating pumps.
