Description: This laboratory is run in conjunction with the theory course S.E. semester-II (Fluid Mechanics-I) and T.E. semester-I (Fluid Mechanics-II). It is an introductory course where Fluid properties, flow behaviour, fluid forces and analysis tools are introduced. The goals of the experiments include determination of properties like Viscosity, Surface tension, Measurement of pressures, forces generated when fluid flow takes place over a solid object, applications of the control volume approach, demonstration of the momentum and energy equations, and engineering correlations. Experimental setups such as flow through a wind tunnel, flow over a flat plate, aerofoil, and cylinder are made available to the students. The lab experiments utilize U-tube manometer and digital manometer, model turbine, centrifugal pump, tilting flume, notches. The lab runs closely with the lectures in such a way that experiments support the text covered in the class room.
Features: Tilting Flume, Wind Tunnel, Pelton Wheel Turbine.
