Fluid properties: fluid statics, stability of floating bodies, conservation of mass, Euler and Bernoulli equations, impulse-momentum principle, laminar and turbulent flow, dimensional analysis and model testing, analysis of flow in pipes, open channel flow, hydrodynamic lift and drag. Practical civil engineering applications are stressed.
EN 541:Fate and Transport of Environmental Contaminants
Description of fundamental processes in natural and engineered systems, including intermedia transport of contaminants between environmental compartments (air, water, soil, and biota) and chemical and biochemical transformations within these compartments.
Laboratory verification of theoretical concepts involved in design and analysis of unit operations and unit processes for environmental pollution control and conservation. Laboratory investigations include mixing, coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, vacuum operations, flotation, disinfection, corrosion control, chemical precipitation, adsorption, ion exchange, membrane processes, biological oxidation and anaerobic digestion.
