Unit Outcomes: | On successful completion of this unit students will have attained an appreciation of the application of the principles of civil engineering hydraulics, particularly the principles relating to hydraulic machinery in the form of turbine and pumping systems. They will also achieve an appreciation of the application of the principles of civil engineering hydraulics, in particular to the principles relating to flow in open channels and gain an introduction to the principles of unsteady flow in channels. |
