Applied Hydraulics II

Students should have basic training in fluid mechanics and have the capacity to:
1. Solve simple problems related to the design and sizing of open channel flow systems;
2. Solve simple problems related to the design and sizing of pumping systems;
3. Solve simple problems related to flow through weirs and orifices.

Expository and inquiry method for explanation of theoretical subjects and resolution of exercises. Execution of a
project of a drainage system in groups of 2 or 3 students. Assessment: Final Exam (EF-12 points) and project (P-8 points). The approval means that EF is greater than or equal to 40% of 12 points and P is greater than or equal to 50% of 8 points; The final mark is NF = EF + P.

The goal of this unit to acquire the knowledge necessary for interpretation and design of drainage systems.
Generic skills: application of knowledge and understanding; judgment and decision making; self-learning; teamwork; oral and written communication.
Specific skills: design drainage systems; introduce the main chemical, physical and biological processes involved in water treatment and sewage disposal applied in the design and management of treatment plants; understand the hydrological phenomena and recognize the potential of the use of the water as an economic factor of production and social progress.
