3 1 0 4

OBJECTIVE
Student is introduced to open channel flow characteristics including hydraulic jump
and surges. Hydraulic machines viz flow through turbines and pumps including
their performance characteristics and design aspects are taught. Student, at the
end of the semester will have the abilities to analyse flow characteristics in open
channel and design hydraulic machines.
UNIT I : OPEN CHANNEL FLOW
12
Open channel flow Types and regimes of flow

Wide open channel Specific

energy Critical flow and its computation. Uniform flow Velocity measurement
Mannings and Chezys formula Determination of roughness coefficients
Determination of normal depth and velocity Most economical sections
UNIT II : VARIED FLOW
12
Dynamic equations of gradually varied flow Assumptions Draw down and back
water curves -Characteristics of flow profiles Profile determination Graphical
integration, direct step and standard step method - Hydraulic jump Types
Energy dissipation Flow through transitions Surges in channels
UNIT III : MOMENTUM PRINCIPLE
12
Impulse momentum equation application of linear momentum principle Impact
of jet force exerted by a jet on normal, inclined and curved surfaces for stationary
and moving cases angular momentum principle construction of velocity vector
diagrams jet propulsion of ships.
UNIT IV : HYDRAULIC TURBINES
12
Classification working principles and design of Pelton wheel, Francis and Kaplan
turbines Velocity triangles efficiencies draft tube - theory and types specific
speed operating characteristics governing of turbines.

UNIT V : PUMPS
12
Classification - Centrifugal pump working principle velocity triangle - minimum
speed to start the pump multistage pumps specific speed - performance curves
Reciprocating pump components and working slip - indicator diagram and its
variation - air vessel working principle of Jet and submersible pump.
