| Contents | This second module is entirely dedicated to the analysis of the most important types of devices used in the water industry, not neglecting those constructive aspects that may or may not determine their success and sustainability. |

| Educational objectives | The main aim of the course is to provide students with the tools to design and verify devices used in the water industry. In such a context, the course will make students aware of the experimental methods in fluid mechanics - applicable to the Interior Design, Exhibit Design, Retail Design or Product Design -to conjugate the rational approach with the needs of a modern and functional design in which water flow plays a crucial role. |
| Prerequisites | According to the characteristics of the course, no prerequisite is required. |
| Teaching methods | The course is organized as follows: 1) lectures on all the topics of the course; 2) exercises about all the practical topics discussed during the course; 3) laboratory tets at the Water Engineering Laboratory of the Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile ed Ambientale |
| Other information | As additional teaching activity, students will execute tests at the Water Engineering Laboratory (WEL). Specifically, steady- and unsteady state tests will be carried out in pressurized pipes to analyze energy dissipation and pressure wave mechanisms. Moreover open channel flow tests will be considered in the laboratory channel. |
| Learning verification modality | The exam consists of an oral test. |
| Extended program | Short pipes: analysis of functioning conditions Sudden expansion of a pressurised flow: the Borda equation. Minor losses (inlets, valves, bends, outlets,...). Hydraulic grade line. Short and long pipes. Problems. Regulating and sectioning devices and their main components. Operating principle of operating machines (pumps) and applications Introductory notes on design of fountains Design of irrigation systems for sprinklers and devices Free-surface devices |

| Educational objectives | The main aim of this course is to lay the foundations of the fluid behavior from both the qualitative and quantitative point of view. |
| Prerequisites | There is no prerequisite. |
| Teaching methods | The course is divided into lessons and exercises. If allowed, some practical applications will be take place at the Water Engineering Laboratory (WEL) of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. |
| Other information | At the end of the course some summary lessons will take place. |
| Learning verification modality | The exam is oral. |
| Extended program | The behavior of the fluids and their main properties (density, specific weight, no-slip condition, Newton law and viscosity measurement, stresses in a liquid, non-dimensional numbers (Reynolds number and Froude number), equation of state and compressibility, vapor pressure and solubility of air in water). Statics of liquids (Stevin law, pressure distribution in a still liquid, pressure measurement). Kinematics of liquids and flow equations (flow field characterization, flow discharge, gradually varied flow and the related pressure distribution, continuity equation, Bernoulli theorem, extension of the Bernoulli theorem to real liquids, discharge measurement). Weakly dissipative flow processes (Pitot tube, outflow processes and Torricelly equation, Venturi process). Laminar and turbulent uniform flow (Reynolds results, Moodu diagram, friction formulas). Artificial porous media (Darcy law, the moka principle of functioning). |
