Fluid Mechanics Lab

The apparatus consists of a pipeline containing a Orificemeter. The pressure tapings from the Orificemeter to differential manometer to measure pressure difference. By operating the valves provided at the downstream the flow can be regulated.

Present set-up is self-contained water re-circulating unit, provided with a sump tank and a centrifugal pump. Flow control valve and by-pass valve are fitted in water line to conduct the experiment on different flow rates. Flow rate of water is measured with the help of measuring tank and stopwatch

Experiments

• To determine the co-efficient of discharged through Orificemeter.
• To measure discharge through Orificemeter as flow meters
