Application of the fundamental concepts of Fluid Mechanics to the design of hydraulic and air systems used in Environmental Engineering studies.
To guarantee to the future Environmental Engineering Masters the qualifications needed for the design of those hydraulic and air systems used in Environmental Engineering studies.
Students should be familiar with the basic concepts given in Physics I and Fluid Mechanics I courses.
Mixture. Aeration and circuits of compressed air. Multiphase flows. Turbomachinery (hydraulic machines). Determination of head losses in pipe pressure flows. Design of pressure flow pipes. Open-channel flows. Uniform flow. Gradually and rapidly varied flows. Design of open-channels.
Exposition of contents in theoretical-practical classes with visual documentation. Solving practical problems in theoretical-practical and practical classes.

Achieving final classification requires compliance with attendance at the course unit, according to the MIEA assessment rules. It is considered that students meet the attendance requirements if, having been regularly enrolled, the number of absences of 25% for each of the classes types is not exceeded.
The standing and final mark of the course is calculated based on a Final Exam (EF) and two tests of Distributed Evaluation (AD1 and AD2) of optional character.
EF: Exam (written) to perform in Normal and/or Appeal dates, with theoretical part, without consulting, and practical part, with the consulting forms provided on the wording of the exam, with the maximum total duration of 3 hours (classification 0 to 20, rounded to one decimal place).
AD1 and AD2: tests of Distributed Evaluation with a maximum duration of 45 minutes (classification from 0 to 20, rounded to one decimal place).
The FINAL MARK (CF) is the highest value, rounded to the unit, obtained by the calculation of the following expressions:
CF1 = 0.750 EF + 0.125 AD1 + 0.125 AD2
CF2 = 0.875 EF + 0.125 AD1
CF3 = 0.875 EF + 0.125 AD2
CF4 = 1.000 EF
that is,
CF = maximum { CF1 , CF2 , CF3 , CF4 } (rounded to unit).
Note 1: The Final Exam (FE) focuses on the whole matter.
Note 2: In due time will be indicated the matters on which each of the tests of Distributed Evaluation (AD1 and AD2) focus.
Note 3: ALL students enrolled in the course are classified according to this method, ie, are also covered by this method of calculating the final mark students with Special Statutes.
Note 4: For the calculation of the final mark (CF) are considered ONLY evidence (EF, AD1 and AD2) held in CURRENT school year (ie, NOT considered marks obtained in tests of Distributed Evaluation held in previous academic years).
Note 5: Are excluded from this method of calculating the final mark those students who submit to the Final Exam (EF) for the purpose of final mark improvement (see specific rule). Are also excluded from this method of calculating of the final mark students with Special Statute to undergo examination in Special Season (see specific rule).
Note 6: It is not allowed to improve the classification of tests of Distributed Evaluation (see specific rule).
There are no others besides those described in "Calculation formula of final grade".
Not applicable.
Students with Special Statutes are classified according to the method set forth in "Final Classification", except when they undergo examination in Special Season.
Students with Special Statute to undergo examination in Special Season are evaluated in a single moment, which consist of a test with the characteristics of the Final Exam (EF).
Students who have already obtained approval, can improved their final classification in one of the two Final Exam (EF) dates (normal or resource) immediately following that one in which they obtained approval.
Being improved classification performed exclusively by Final Exam (EF) (classification 0 to 20, rounded to unit) there is no way to improve the classification of tests of Distributed Evaluation.
The final grade in the course is the highest among that which was first obtained and the resulting improvement of classification made.
