On completion of this module, students should be able to: (1) calculate flows and pressures in single pipe systems and in more complex pipe networks; (2) design pump-pipeline systems to meet flow and pressure requirements; (3) understand the impacts of aging on pipe systems and develop solutions to remediate loss of performance that results from possible age related increased friction; (4) re-design existing pipe systems to accommodate increasing demand etc.; (5) identify and classify steady, unsteady and uniform and non-uniform open channel flows; (6) apply both the energy and momentum equations in combination with continuity and friction to solve problems in rapidly varied open channel flows; (7) derive the gradual varied flow equation from first principles and extend to rectangular and wide channels; (8) solve gradually varied flow problems by direct and standard step methods; (9) analyse variations in resistance along the wetted perimeters of simple and compound channels; (10) plan and conduct experiments, analyse and interpret the results and write up your findings in a coherent and logical manner; and (11) in the context of (1) to (10) above, understand sustainability concepts and the relevance of the UN SDGs to the course content.

• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment
• Group/class feedback, post-assessment
Continuous assessment module elements will be graded and feedback provided to students following the assessment of submissions. This feedback will identify errors/ incorrect approaches in submissions. Results of in-class (Brightspace quiz) tests will be provided following the assessment.
