For all other agri 3rd sem syllabus for be 2017 regulation anna univ you can visit Agri 3rd Sem syllabus for BE 2017 regulation Anna Univ Subjects. The detail syllabus for fluid mechanics and hydraulics is as follows.”
Course Objective:
- To introduce the students to the mechanics of fluids through a thorough understanding of the properties of the fluids, behaviour of fluids under static conditions. The dynamics of fluids is introduced through the control volume approach which gives an integrated understanding of the transport of mass, momentum and energy.
- To expose to the applications of the conservation laws to
- flow measurements
- flow through pipes (both laminar and turbulent) and
- forces on vanes.
- To introduce the students to various hydraulic engineering problems like open channel flows and hydraulic pumps. At the completion of the course, the student should be able to relate the theory and practice of problems in hydraulic engineering.

Unit II
Fluid Flow Analysis
Types of fluid flow – velocity and acceleration of a fluid particle – Rotational – irrotational circulation and vorticity – Flow pattern – stream line – equipotential line – stream tube path line – streak line -flow net – velocity potential – stream function. Principles of conservation of mass – energy -momentum – continuity equation in Cartesian co-ordinates – Eulers equation of motion.
Unit III
Flow Measurement
Bernoullis equation – applications – Venturimeter – orifice meter – nozzle meter – rotameter -elbow meter – pitot tube – Orifice – sharp edged orifice discharging free – submerged orifice -mouth piece – Flow through orifice under variable head – time of emptying a tank with and without inflow. Flow through pipes – laminar and turbulent flow in pipes – Reynolds experiment – Darcy -Weisbach equation for friction head loss – Chezys formula – Mannings formula – Hazen-William” s formula – Major and minor losses in pipes – hydraulic gradient line – energy gradient line. Siphon – water hammer in pipes – gradual and sudden closure of valves

Unit V
Dimensional Analysis and Pumps
Dimensional analysis – Fundamental dimensions – dimensional homogeneity – Rayleighs method and Buckingham Pi-Theorem – concept of geometric, kinematic and dynamic similarity. Important non dimensional numbers – Reynolds, Froude, Euler, Mach and Weber – Pump terminology -suction lift, suction head, delivery head, discharge, water horse power – selection of pump capacity. Centrifugal pumps – components – working – types of pumps and impellers – Priming -cavitation – specific speed – characteristic curves. Turbine and submersible pumps – Jet pump -jet assembly – Other pumps – Air lift pump – reciprocating pump – sludge pump and vacuum pump-Hydraulic ram.
Course Outcome:
- The students will be able to get a basic knowledge of fluids in static, kinematic and dynamic equilibrium.
- They will also gain the knowledge of the applicability of physical laws in addressing problems in hydraulics.
