Experiments on Reynold’s Apparatus
The name “Reynolds Number” was given to honor “Osborne Reynolds” in the 19th century. Osborne Reynolds has conducted an experiment
Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machines
Experiments on Flow through Pipes
The detailed study on flow through pipes has been done, and various losses due to friction have been studied. During the flow of a fluid
Determination of Performance of Kaplan Turbine
Kaplan reaction turbine is the axial flow turbine which was developed by Austrian professor Victor Kaplan in 1913.
Determination of CV and CD of Orifices
An orifice is a small aperture which is the small opening in a wall tank through which the fluid passes. If the length of the tank is less than two
Determination of Metacentric Height and Application to Stability of Floating Bodies
Metacentric height is a parameter to measure the static stability of a floating body, as it is defined as a distance between the center of gravity of a body and its metacenter.
Experiments on Performance of Francis Turbine
The Francis turbine was developed by James B. Francis, and it is a type of reaction turbine which means that it can only convert a part of the available total head
Experiments on Impact of Jets
This set up consists of a nozzle and a transparent cylinder through which the jet is striking the target plate, or a disc (Positioned just above nozzle)
Experiments on Performance of Pelton Turbine
Pelton turbine is a tangential flow hydraulic impulse turbine in which water jet hits the bucket on a wheel, and it is used in the hydroelectric power plant for electricity generation purpose.
Experiments on Performance of Centrifugal Pump
The study of the performance of the centrifugal pump has been discussed. No pumps are ‘ideal’, and their performances are determined by the manufacturer.
