If you want to know more about the syllabus of other branches including B.E Environmental Engineering connected to an affiliated institution’s four-year undergraduate degree programme. We provide you with a detailed Year-wise, semester-wise, and Subject-wise syllabus in the following link B.E Environmental Engineering Syllabus Anna University, Regulation 2021.
Aim Of Concept:
- To introduce the students about the properties of the fluids, behaviour of fluids under static, kinematic and dynamic conditions through the control volume approach and expose them to the applications of the conservation laws and to impart basic knowledge of the dimensional analysis and model studies along with flow through pipes.
- The students will be exposed to the basic concepts of open channel flows with significance to steady uniform flows along with flow measurements in open channels.
- To expose the students to the classification of pumps the basic principles of working and to design centrifugal pump.
