Lecture 4: Water and Wastewater Treatment Hydraulics

Author/Compiled by
Manoj K. Pandey (Institute of Engineering, Tribhuvan University)

The objective of this lecture is to introduce the fundamentals of hydraulics for the simple design of water supply and sewer pipes (see also water distribution pipes). The lecture includes the analysis of pipe flow systems, head losses in pipes, flow measurement devices, small diameter gravity (see also conventional sewers and simplified and condominal sewers) and vacuum sewers.
