Hydraulics Laboratory

To study the principle of laminar & turbulent flow and determination of Reynolds number for various flow rates

To study Bernoulli’s theorem can be verified by calculating the energy and head of water at different sections

Notch is fitted water is supplied at one end of channel over the notch.  A Settling chamber with dampers is provided at the beginning Of flow channel to reduce the pulsations and to settle the flow

To study Cd, Cc, & Cv of orifice as well as Cd of mouthpiece

A transparent venturi and an orifice, Tapings to measure the pressure difference across venturi and orifice, connected to a differential manometer. The actual flow rate can be measured, measuring tank and both the meters can be calibrated

Demonstration of force exerted by impact of a jet on a vane and comparison of theoretical force and actual force

Orifice fitted to create the pressure difference.  Various pressure measurement devices are fitted to have good insight of the devices

Transparent cylinder mounted on rotatable base plate. Water is directed tangentially in the cylinder, free vortex is formed. The cylinder rotated. forced vortex is formed. can be observed at different speeds.

To observe the flow is disturbed due to obstacles and flow pattern around  the obstacles

To study metacentric height of ship

To study streamlined and non-streamlined shapes and flow around the objects can be studied

The tilting flume is designed to conduct various experiments at various bed slopes, to study open channel flow, specific energy curve, hydraulic jump calibration of weirs, notches and venturi flume
