Fluid Mechanics
In Hydraulics laboratory, we find and verify the difference between the theoretical calculations and actual quantities of flow and its parameters in a pipe flow and open channels.
By using the experimental set-ups like tilting flume in open channels, we get the coefficient of various parameters like discharge, velocity etc These coefficients represent a realistic relationship between theoretical calculations and actual observations, which ultimately enables us to find an accurate and appropriate estimate of parameters like flow rate, capacity, velocity, pressure etc.
In this laboratory, students get an experience to understand the fluid properties like surface tension, temperature, viscosity and they get a practical experience of measurement of these properties, which are very important for the selection of pumps, pipes and its specifications.
