About Laboratory
The Fluid mechanics lab helps the students to understand the characteristics of water in a pipe flow or open channel. The goals of the experiments include determination of forces generated when fluid flow takes place over a solid object, applications of the control volume approach, demonstration of the momentum and energy equations, viscosity measurement and engineering correlations. Experimental setups such as flow through a tube, flow over a flat plate are made available to the students. The lab experiments utilize U-tube manometer and digital manometer and data acquisition. The lab runs closely with the lectures in such a way that experiments support the text covered in the class room.
