Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics Laboratory

Hydraulics Laboratory

1. Hydraulic Bench
• Objective: To determine the flow rate.
2. Osborne Reynolds Experiment
• Objective: To demonstrate the classical relationships regarding the flow states of fluids.
3. Jet Impact Experiment
• Objective: To investigate the validity of theoretical expressions related to the forces exerted by a water jet on obstacles of various shapes.
4. Bernoulli’s Experiment
• Objective: To verify the Bernoulli equation.
5. Energy Loss in a Piping System
• Objective:
• To determine the energy loss caused by components of a piping system (e.g., elbows, valves, sudden changes in pipe cross-section).
• To study the relationship between energy loss and velocity.
• To examine the variation of friction factor with Reynolds number.
• To analyze the loss coefficient's relation to kinetic energy and the effect of the bend radius on the local energy loss.
