Solve
unsteady flow problems in a pressure conduit including reservoir draw
down, water hammer and surge tank problems.
-
Solve
the problems involving normal and critical depths, specific energy,
and transition in an open channel.
-
Solve
gradually varied flow problems.
-
Solve
rapidly varied flow problems.
-
Solve
problems on similitude and modeling.
-
Design
hydraulic machines and applications of hydro power engineering.
