505 Hydraulic Motors and Pumps. [Thornton.]
Lectures 9-10, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
The course is based upon the principles of angular and linear
momentum, and the laws of action of hydraulic motors and pumps
are developed from these principles. Only such attention is given
to the older types of hydraulic machinery as their historic interest
justifies. The body of the course is a careful study of the modern
types of the turbine as a motor and as a pump. The principles of
action of these machines are systematically developed and their operation
is illustrated from examples taken from the current practice.
Free use is made of problems, and the student is required to design
hydraulic machinery and to predict the performance under test of
such machines. The inertia effects of moving masses of water on
the conduits which carry them are also examined, and the methods
for limiting the consequent strains are explained.
[Required, Spring, in Courses I, II, III (3); IV, V (4).]
