This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on the measurement of the flow rate of a fluid flowing under pressure in a closed conduit. Several categories of pipe flow measurement devices will be described and discussed, including some associated calculations.
The closed conduit is often circular, but also may be square or rectangular (such as a heating duct) or any other shape. The other major category of flow is open channel flow, which is the flow of a liquid with a free surface open to atmospheric pressure. Measurement of the flow rate of a fluid flowing under pressure, is carried out for a variety of purposes, such as billing for water supply to homes or businesses or, for monitoring or process control of a wide variety of industrial processes, which involve flowing fluids.
This 4 PDH online course is intended primarily for mechanical, civil and chemical, environmental, and industrial engineers. Someone completing this course will gain knowledge about twelve different types of meters for measuring fluid flow rate in a closed conduit.

This online enineering PDH course explains how to derive the pipe diameter and slope for each length of storm sewer and the depth to the pipe bottom at each manhole.The overall procedure and each step will be presented and discussed. Example calculations for a single length of storm sewer between two manholes will be performed and an example of calculations between successive manholes will be done using Excel.
Storm sewers are widely used to carry away runoff from storms, primarily in urban areas. The hydraulic design begins after the locations of the manholes for the system have been determined. Between each pair of manholes the storm sewer will have a constant slope and diameter. The hydraulic design process results in determination of an appropriate diameter and slope for each length of storm sewer and determines the depth of the bottom of the pipe at each manhole.
This 4 PDH online course is intended for hydrologists, civil engineers, hydraulic engineers, highway engineers and environmental engineers. After completing this course, you will be able to carry out hydraulic design of storm sewers to determine diameter, slope and depth of invert at each manhole for the length of storm sewer between two successive manholes. After completing this course, you will also be able to set up an Excel program to carry out hydraulic design for successive lengths of storm sewer.

An understanding of hydrology is important for many civil engineering, environmental engineering, and geotechnical related projects. A good starting point is review of the hydrological cycle, watershed characteristics, precipitation, and the rainfall/runoff process, which are included in this course as the first part of the "Hydrology Review Series". These topics provide a start on the review of hydrology and preparation for studying more advanced areas of hydrology.
