Master the mechanics of fluid behavior to design efficient systems and solve complex real-world engineering challenges with confidence.
This course is intended to serve as an introduction to fluid statics, hydrodynamics, and hydraulic machines for attendees with little or no fluids/hydraulics background. This course transitions from hydraulics concepts to laws, mathematical equations, sample problems, and practical hydraulics case study examples. Manning’s law, Bernoulli’s law, the Moody chart, Darcy’s equation, fan laws, and the Hazen-Williams method—to name a few—are some of the principles and analytical principles that are covered.
The confluence of concepts of hydrostatics and hydrodynamics is leveraged to show how—with a basic understanding of these concepts and principles—gauges can be developed to annunciate fluid flow rate in the form of the rise of an “indicating fluid” in a manometer. The concept of buoyancy is explained and illustrated, uniquely, through a hot air balloon design example.
Several water (hydraulic) horsepower equations are covered; their differences and specific applications are explained. Hydraulic machines, i.e., pumps and hydroturbines, are discussed; their operations and applications are explained and illustrated through numerical case studies. Hydraulic systems analyses are explained and illustrated through a detailed case study.
For those attendees or participants who possess prior fluids knowledge and experience, this course is intended to serve as a refresher of the basics and an introduction to intermediate-level knowledge on the subject of hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, and hydraulic machines.
This course can be used to satisfy the Professional Development Hour requirement, as established by state boards and other licensure agencies. Board acceptance guarantee. No prerequisite required. The course starts from the basics. Participants are kept engaged through questions and answers, discussions, and classwork.
