.1 INTRODUCTION
HYDRAULICS – DEFINITION – PROPERTIES OF FLUIDS – MASS , FORCE
, WEIGHT, SPECIFIC VOLUME , SPECIFIC GRAVITY , SPECIFIC WEIGHT ,
DENSITY , RELATIVE DENSITY , COMPRESSIBILITY , VISCOSITY ,
COHESION , ADHESION , CAPILLARITY AND SURFACE TENSION –
DIMENSIONS AND UNITS FOR AREA , VOLUME , SPECIFIC VOLUME ,
VELOCITY , ACCELERATION , DENSITY , DISCHARGE, FORCE, PRESSURE
AND POWER.
2.1 FLOW OF FLUIDS
TYPES OF FLOW – LAMINAR AND TURBULENT FLOW – STEADY AND
UNSTEADY FLOW – UNIFORM AND NON-UNIFORM FLOW – EQUATION
FOR CONTINUITY OF FLOW
(LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS ) – ENERGY POSSESSED BY A
FLUID BODY – POTENTIAL ENERGY AND POTENTIAL HEAD – PRESSURE
ENERGY AND PRESSURE HEAD – KINETIC ENERGY AND KINETIC HEAD
– TOTAL ENERGY AND TOTAL HEAD – BERNOULLI‘S THEOREM – (NO
PROOF) – PROBLEMS ON PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF BERNOULLI‘S
THEOREM – VENTURIMETER – ORIFICEMETER (DERIVATION NOT
NECESSARY) – SIMPLE PROBLEMS.
