Objective
Provide graduate students with theoretical and practical knowledge in order to design, scale, build and
operate hydraulic systems required for agricultural activities.
Content
The course will follow a hybrid system, with 50% of face-to-face activities (Theoretical and practical classes, sessions to clarify doubts and discussion of concepts, and training exercises) and 50% of remote, online activities (recorded classes, support teaching materials, solving exercises and tests, and sessions for discussing and answering questions).
The online activity will last 2 hours/week. Classes will be synchronous (1/2 of the time) and asynchronous (1/2 of the time). The platform used for online activities includes Google Meet (online classes) and e-Disciplinas (Stoa - class materials).
To attend classes online, the student must have a computer with a camera and audio (microphone and speakers) in good working order.
The material available to students includes handouts, free software, recorded lessons, videos, and exercises.
The frequency control of activities will be done 1 day a week. In face-to-face activities, it will be from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm. In non-presential activities, it will be done for 1.5 hours, in synchronous weekly classes. In the initial fortnight and the last fortnight of the semester, professors and students must be present at the University. The frequency control methods will be oral calling or attendance registration via Google Meet.
Active teaching methods will be used, namely: exercises done individually or in groups, and seminars.
The assessment includes weekly exercises (individual and group) and seminars (individual). The final average will be weighted considering the grades of the weekly exercises (Weight 2) and the grade of the seminar (Weight 1).
Content:
1. Physical properties of fluids and systems of units. 2. Fluid statics; forces acting on immersed surfaces. 3. Fluid dynamics; Continuity Flow equation; Bernoulli's Ttheorem and its applications in fluid flows. 4. Forced conduits (plumbing); properties; head losses by friction (distributed and localized), gravity pipelines; distribution systems; pipeline design. 5. Hydraulic pumps; types; classification; principles of operation; characteristics and operating curves; cavitation and suction limits; systems design. 6. Water lifting systems; accessories; head losses by friction; water pumping; installation and systems operation; design. 7. Hydrometry; main methods and instruments for measuring water speed and flow in channels and pipes. 8. Open channels (free conduits); properties; operating principles; design.
