Fluid Mechanics & Hydraulic Machinery Lab
The Fluid Mechanics & Hydraulic Machines laboratory is equipped with a number of equipment and experimental setups to study the fundamentals and applied aspects of fluid mechanics and hydraulic machines. Students can perform tests and find the flow rate of equipment like venturi meter and orifice meter. Bernoulli’s equation is verified through the Bernoulli’s apparatus. Frictional losses are determined by the apparatus named Losses in pipe friction. Measurements of critical Performance parameters like efficiency, flow rate etc. of various hydraulic machines such as turbines, pumps are performed in this lab.
