Hidráulica Geral

Physics, Fundamentals of Mechanics

Exhibition with small active moments to ensure the internalization of content, solving exercises individually and in groups.

To promote the real application of the content, visits to the Hydraulics Laboratory.

Recognize the various types of liquid flows;

Identify different resistance laws for uniform flows;

Describe the types of hydraulic pumps;

Analyze a water supply network;

Describe the functioning, dynamics and interconnection between hydraulic infrastructures;

Manage the operation of hydraulic infrastructures.
