Hydraulics - Engineering Overview

Introduction to Hydraulics Hydraulics is the branch of science concerned with the practical applications of fluids in motion and at rest. It plays a key role in civil and mechanical engineering.

Basic Principles Hydraulic systems work based on Pascal’s Law: 'Pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted equally in all directions.'

Hydraulic Properties - Pressure - Flow Rate - Head - Energy losses in fluid systems

Hydraulic Machines 1. Pumps – move fluids 2. Turbines – extract energy from fluids 3. Hydraulic Press – amplifies force

Flow in Pipes Study of head losses due to friction: - Darcy-Weisbach Equation - Hazen-Williams Equation - Minor losses (bends, fittings, valves)

Open Channel Flow Flow with a free surface exposed to the atmosphere: - Uniform Flow (Manning’s Equation) - Specific Energy and Critical Flow - Hydraulic Jump phenomena

Hydraulic Structures Structures used in water resources engineering: - Dams - Spillways - Weirs - Canals

Applications Hydraulics is applied in: - Water supply and distribution - Irrigation - Flood control - Hydropower generation - Machinery and automation

Conclusion Hydraulics integrates principles of fluid mechanics with practical applications to design efficient systems for water resources, power, and mechanical operations.
