Course abstract

The aim of the study course acquires the design of the main hydro units, regulating devices, functional significance, operating principles, hydrosystem design skills and calculation methodology in accordance with the technological requirements, based on the basic rules of fluid mechanics.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

Knowledge - understands the structure, operation and applications of static (volumetric) and dynamic hydro devices - Laboratory works.
Skills - oriented in the schematic drawings of hydraulic drive diagrams, assesses the functioning of static and dynamic hydraulic systems, understands the functions, applicability and operation of apparatus used in the scheme, can organize maintenance work - Laboratory works.

Competence - chooses equipment, justifies the choice and designs the hydropower of different machinery and machinery members, and carries out the maintenance of the hydraulic drive for maintenance of non-refractory operation - Homework.
