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. 

General objective: acquire the necessary knowledge for the interpretation, conception and design of wastewater drainage systems.;

Generic competence:

Understand the knowledge and know how to apply the acquired knowledge

Basing decision making

Promote self learning

Promoting collaborative work and teamwork

Develop written and oral technical communication

Skills to be developed:

study and understand hydrological phenomena to determine the design variables of rainwater drainage systems.

learn the main chemical, physical and biological processes involved in wastewater treatment applicable in the design and management of treatment plants

Conceive, design, scale, execute and operate a wastewater drainage system, in the following components:

O1 – Rainwater drainage network;

O2 – Sewage drainage network;

O3 – Wastewater treatment.
