Summary
The course builds on the theoretical knowledge of fluid mechanics. Students learn more about the flow of liquids in pipes, the principles of graphic and numerical solution of simple and complex pipes. They acquire new knowledge about pipeline networks and analysis of flow in branched and circuit networks. Attention is also paid to work of a pump in the hydraulic system and its control.
