This document provides the course outline for SKMM 4343 Hydraulic Machine and Pipe System. The 3-week course aims to enhance students' knowledge of fluid mechanics, open channel flow, pipe networks, pump operation, and more. Students will learn to determine flowrates, analyze pipe systems using Hardy-Cross method, compute transient flows, and apply pump performance curves. The course involves 42 hours of lectures, 42 hours of independent study, and assignments. Students will be assessed through tests, assignments, and a final exam.

SYNOPSIS
This course is designed to enhance the knowledge in fluid mechanics. Understanding the principle of open channel flow
and the calculation to determine the flowrate. Basic elements of water flow in pipes which are applied to practical
problems in pipelines and networks for steady, quasi-steady and unsteady flow are emphasized. Analysis of flow
distribution using Hardy-Cross method. Pressure wave and water hammer analysis – method of characteristic. The
course will also provide the analysis of pump operation and pipe system. Pump working range; selection of pump as an
integrated part of the pipeline system. The study of pump operating point, cavitation and net suction positive head
(NSPH) will also included.
