  1. Chapter 2 • Hydraulics: • Major Forms of water transport • Gravity Flow • Pumping • Water Properties • incompressible liquid (constant volume) • Unit wt. = 62.4 pcf or 9.8 KN/m3 • Pressure - U.S. (psi) or SI (N/m2 or Pascal) • P=62.4 pcf=.43 #/in2-ft • Conversion Factors • 1 cu ft. = 7.48 gallons = 28.32 L • 1 gal =3.8 Liters • 1 mgd = 1.55 cfs = 700 gpm

  2. Chapter 2 CHAPTER 2 - HYDRAULICS Hwk #2 pp.53-55 1,4,7,9,11 Overview: Hydrostatic Pressure Pressure Head Continuity of Flow- hydraulic equipment

  3. Chapter 2 Conservation of Energy- closed system (Bernoulli Equation) Hazel-Williams Equation- closed pipes equation

  4. Chapter 2 Manning’s Flow- open channel flow Q=channel discharge capacity, m3/s(ft3/s) 1.0= SI const and 1.5 for US n =manning channel roughness coef A = cross –sectional area R = hydraulic radius of the channel, m(ft) S= slope of the channel bottom, dimensionless

  6. Chapter 2 Instruments: (to measure pressure) piezometer tube manometer Bourdon Tube Gage Pressure Transducers Venturi Meter (measures flow rate) Pitot Tube (measures flow velocity) Terminology: Viscosity – The friction that acts between two surfaces due to the fluid Hydraulic Grade Line (HGL)- Fig 2.14
