Course detail

Hydromechanics

FSI-5HYAcad. year: 2010/2011

The course presents the basic theory, properties and principal equations of hydrostatics and hydrodynamics as a starting point for analysis of both elementary and advanced hydraulic machines, mechanisms, hydraulic transporting systems, ducts, waterworks, etc.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Course-unit credit requirements,
presence on the excercises.Student have to obtain classification not les than E on written tasks. The date of written tasks have to be specified at the begin of semester. Attending of all laboratory excercises. Writing of treatise about accomplished measurings duering laboratory excercises.
Examination.
The goal of examination is to check the students knowledge of laws used in hydromechanics and their application in practise.
Exam has three steps
1. step: test - checks the basic theoretical knowledge from hydromechanics.
2. step: examples - checks the ability to solve some concrete examples from hydrostatics and hydrodynamics.
3. step: oral exam - this part is used for the classification finishing.
