Synopsis:

Practical solutions for hydraulic problems in technological processes: sedimentation, mixing, separation, fluidation, flow, pumping. Design of hydraulic equipment (e.g. transport system composed of pumps and pipelines for hydraulic transport of solids) based on mathematical modeling of hydraulic processes.

Requirements:

It is required to have passed course: 141HY3V or 141XHY3

Syllabus of lectures:

Sedimentation and fluidation,

Coarse Newtonian mixtures: pipeline flow, open-channel flow,

Fine non-Newtonian mixtures: pipeline flow, open-channel flow,

Pumping of mixtures,

Mixing of mixtures, separation using centrifugal force,

Gas in liquid (effect on flow and pumping).

Syllabus of tutorials:

Sedimentation and fluidation,

Coarse Newtonian mixtures: pipeline flow, open-channel flow,

Fine non-Newtonian mixtures: pipeline flow, open-channel flow,

Pumping of mixtures,

Mixing of mixtures, separation using centrifugal force,

Gas in liquid (effect on flow and pumping).

Study Objective:

The course learns students to understand hydraulic processes associated with handling of mixtures (solids-liquid, gas-liquid) in industrial practice.
