Fluid Mechanics Lab

The practical understanding of basic concepts of fluid flow is mandatory for analyzing the behavior of hydraulic structures such as dams and barrages. In order to fulfill this requirement, fluid mechanics laboratory has been established and equipped with Bernoulli’s theorem apparatus, Drag Coefficient apparatus, hydraulic bench apparatus, Hydrostatic pressure apparatus, Metacentric Height Apparatus, Flow over weirs apparatus, Dead Weight tester, Viscometer, Orifice Meter etc. In addition to this equipment, advanced equipment in Fluid Mechanics Lab of Mechanical engineering department is shared by Civil Engineering Department. It includes Francis turbine, Osborne’s Reynolds apparatus, hydrostatic pressure apparatus, impact jet apparatus, demonstration reaction turbine, Pelton wheel turbine, pipe friction apparatus etc. This laboratory satisfies the requirements of two courses, ‘Fluid Mechanics-I’ and ‘Fluid Mechanics-II’ as per approved scheme of study upon completion of ongoing procurement process.
