Fluid Mechanics Lab
The fluid mechanics laboratory is situated on the ground floor of the C-building covers an area of 1500 sq. ft. which is used for various multidisciplinary experimental work. The objective of this laboratory is to determine the various parameters related to fluid flow in pipes and in open channels. At present it is well equipped with hydraulic bench, fluid friction apparatus, centre of pressure apparatus, weir, notch, venturimeter, Bernoulli’s apparatus to carry out experiments like determination of centre of pressure for a floating body, verification of the Bernoulli’s energy equation, determination of coefficient of discharge for obstruction flow meter(venturimeter/orifice meter/mouthpiece),determination of discharge coefficient for various notches, determination of hydraulic coefficients for flow through an orifice, determination of friction coefficient for pipes of various diameters and calculation of minor head losses in pipes.
