| Full description: | The use of pumps in engineering and water management. The essential quantities characterizing the operation of pumps, cavitation, hydraulic impact. Displacement pumps: principles of operation, division, design. Vortical pumps: principles of operation, division, construction. Characteristics, regulation, drives and tests of centrifugal, positive displacement and propeller pumps. Hydraulic cooperation of pumps and pumping stations, pump operation point. Cooperation of pumps with pipes and tanks. Polderation, elements and devices for dewatering of hydrotechnical areas and structures. Pumping station capacity, methods, formulas for determining the inflow of water from the basin. Hydrological foundations for determining runoff of surface water to the pumping station. Principles of pumping station construction: system of pumps, pipelines, connections. Designing of pumping stations: suction and discharge systems, buildings, equipment. Economic calculation of the construction and use of the pumping station. Operation and operation of the pumping station: control, measurements and automation. Modern solutions for pumping stations and pumping systems for water supply, for irrigation and drainage, and for transporting liquid and semi-liquid substances, including sewage and water-soil mixtures (spoil, waste). |

| Learning outcomes: | The student knows and understands: the types of pumps and the principles of their selection and solutions of pump systems in engineering and water management; design principles, calculating the costs of structures and operating a pumping station. The student can determine: the water supply from the catchment to the pumping station; select the pump and determine the parameters of the pump's cooperation with the pipeline and tank; design a pump house with a pump set and necessary equipment. It can perform calculations concerning of HS locks. It can describe results of own works and to formulate conclusions from the range of the HS |
