| Hydraulics Bench (FME00) |
1 |
Hydraulic Bench is an important piece of equipment used in carrying out mechanical laboratory experiments especially those requiring water supply and determination of fluid flow. |
|
| Impact of a Jet (FME01) |
4 |
The equipment is to demonstrate and verify the integral momentum equation. The force generated by a jet of water deflected by an impact surface is measured and compared to the momentum change of the jet. |
|
| Hydrostatic Pressure (FME08) |
2 |
The hydrostatic pressure apparatus is to experimentally determine the hydrostatic force and the center of pressure of a vertical, submerged, plane surface. |
|
| Dead Weight Calibrator (FME10) |
2 |
A deadweight Calibrator is a calibration standard that uses the principle of a pressure balance to calibrate pressure measuring instruments. |
|
| Metacentric Height (FME11) |
2 |
Metacentric Height Apparatus is used to measure the metacentric height of a flat-bottomed vessel. |
|
| Bernoulli’s Theorem Demonstration (FME03) |
2 |
The equipment is to investigate the validity of the Bernoulli equation when it is applied to a steady flow of water through a Convergent-divergent conduit. |
|
| Osborne-Reynolds’ Demonstration (FME06) |
2 |
Osborne-Reynolds apparatus is used to study laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow. |
|
| Flow Meter Demonstration (FME18) |
2 |
The equipment is used to determine the coefficient of discharge for a venturi meter and an orifice meter. |
|
| Energy Losses in Bends (FME05) |
2 |
The equipment is used to measure head losses through bends |
|
| Energy Losses in Pipes (FME07) |
2 |
The equipment is used to demonstrate the energy loss in booth laminar and turbulent regimes |
|
| Wind tunnel |
1 |
A wind tunnel is a tool used in aerodynamics to study the effects of air moving past solid objects. |
|
| Modular pump test |
1 |
Test the performance of different positive displacement and dynamic pumps. |
|
| Pump and valve |
1 |
Test the performance of a dynamic pump for different speeds. Also, can be used to measure the minor losses of different valves. |
|
| Hydraulics bench with variable centrifugal speed pumps |
1 |
Test the performance of two pumps connected in series or parallel. |
|
| Pelton wheel |
3 |
Test the performance of a Pelton wheel turbine using weight or force brake. |
|
| Francis turbine |
1 |
Test the performance of Francis turbine using different stator angles. |
