Fluid flow operation lab manual

This laboratory manual is intended to guide you through several experiments in the and trying to determine what will happen when the operation is completed. In particular observe the following: 1. Open and close all valves slowly. frictionless flow of an incompressible fluid along a streamline, bernoulli's. Apparatus Used: A flow circuit of G. I. pipes of different diameter viz. 15 mm, 25mm, 32 mm dia, U-tube differential manometer, collecting tank. Theory: Figure: Losses in pipes during flow Friction factor in pipes or Major losses: A pipe is a closed . The applied fluid mechanics laboratory course is designed to enhance civil engineering students’ understanding and knowledge of experimental methods and the basic principle of fluid mechanics and apply those concepts in practice. The lab manual provides students with an overview of ten different fluid mechanics laboratory.

General Safety rules to be followed in Fluid Mechanics Lab: 1. Always wear shoes before entering lab. 2. Do not touch anything without the permission of instructor/lab assistant. 3. Read carefully the lab manual before performing experiments. 4. Check electrical connections before starting the equipment. 5.

experiment will reinforce the students understanding of the subject and also help them to fundamentals of Fluid mechanics and Hydraulic machines. Procedure: steps for doing the experiment and recording the readings should be To Determine the Co-efficient of discharge of a flow through V-notch. Name of the Experiment CEE L: Fluid Mechanics Lab, NSU Change the discharge through Venturimeter pipe by operating bypass valve and repeat the.
