Tests
Test 1:
The first test for this course included two problems, one using the gamma times height equation and another that used Bernoulli’s equation for an open steady flow system. In the first question instead of calculating the change in pressure of the system using a manometer we were given the change in pressure and had to calculate the height of the manometer for different fluids. The second question gave us an open system with a volumetric flow rate, we had to determine the size the pipes had to be to accommodate a given mean velocity throughout the system. Using the calculated pipe size, the pressure head and pump power had to be calculated with taking into account the energy loss in the system.

Test 2:
The second test had a system that was uncompleted by the engineer that had started the project and I had to find the various data that the problems (employer) needed. The height of water flowing through a trapezoidal open channel, and the max size log that the channel can carry and the force of drag a log half that size would feel if stuck in the channel. The force due to moving fluid on the pipe and elbow had to be calculated along with the force on the flange due to static fluid. The pressure increment if the valve was closed quickly had to be calculated and the pressure drop across a flow nozzle if used also had to be calculated.
