Objective of the Course

At the end of the course, the students will be able to
 Define hydraulics and the appropriate physical properties and show how these allow
differentiation between solids and fluids as well as between liquids and gases,
 Calculate the hydrostatic pressure and know the basic equations of hydrostatic,
 Know the type of flow and continuity equation and its practical uses in the analysis of flow
 Know the basic equation of motion and calculate forces influencing fluid motion,
