Assignment Help Other Subject

Reference no: EM131493341

Aim To assess the student knowledge in basic and applied fluid mechanics.

Objective To assess the student knowledge and skill in the following topics:
- Momentum equation
- Dimensional analysis
- Application of principles of fluid mechanics to design and construction of hydraulic structure systems

A. Knowledge and understanding of the topic

This is the factual foundation of the assignment. The essential facts should be accurate and broad enough in their scope to allow further application.

B. Application and analysis of the topic (Module specific Skill)

This is the way in which you analyze/ examine the factual information and how you interpret this information to add value to your answer (this could be in the form of conclusions, solutions, recommendations,etc.). It is also important to remember that the assessor must logically be able to follow the information in assignment submissions.

C. The structure in terms of logic and coherence

Submissions should have a clear start and a clear end. Information within submissions should also be logical and well grouped. Report structure, is composed of Abstract, Introduction & Referencing, Result Analysis, and Conclusion& Future works.

D. The use of relevant work examples and/or examples gained from further reading

Suggestions for further reading are contained within the course work and indicated at the end of the course work. These reading lists are not exhaustive and candidates are encouraged toread further and reference at the end of the course work using Harvard style of referencing.

Tasks Expected

Task-1: Field Visit Report

Site visit will be arranged for a hydraulic structure to find a context for the study of Fluid Mechanics and understand of its principles.Your task is to observe and note type of structure, purpose, hydraulic characteristics of the chosen structureand try to find out the information about the following:

- Role and importance of Damin Oman and other countries
- Identification, classificationand comparison ofsuch type of structure in Oman and in other countriesbased on construction material, purpose, hydraulic characteristics
- Detailed description of the visited structure(location, type, purpose, hydraulic characteristics, components)
- Calculation of hydrostatic pressure and center of pressure on the dam based on collected data

Requirement for the Report
Write a full detailed report on the field visit i.e., site description (location, topography...),type of structure (shape, construction material, design, capacity...), purpose, Hydraulic characteristics.

Calculation of hydrostatic pressure force and center of pressure shall be done based on collected data.

• Timed assignments will be conducted at the beginning of a class session. • They will occur with prior announcement • They are short class tutorial covering assigned reading materials and the previous lecture(s), and take about one hour to solve a simple design problem • If a student did not attend a class tutorial for a genuine reason, a replacement assessment will be scheduled for him/her and the mark will be capped to 80% of the scored mark. • If a student did not attend an assessment and fail to produce a genuine reason, no replacement assessment will be scheduled for him/her and only ZERO mark will be awarded for that assignment.

Calculation of hydrostatic pressure force and center of pressure shall be done based on collected data. Water density is 1 gr/cm3 and g is gravitational acceleration and is considered 9.8 m/s2. Water level H shall be incremented by Y (water level = H+Y). Y is last three digit of the student number divided by 250. For example, if student number is 130467 then Y is 467/250 = 1.868 and the water level is H= 10mthen H+1.868= 11.868 m
