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.

2

The hydrostatic pressure apparatus is to experimentally determine the hydrostatic force and the center of pressure of a vertical, submerged, plane surface.

A deadweight Calibrator is a calibration standard that uses the principle of a pressure balance to calibrate pressure measuring instruments.

Metacentric Height Apparatus is used to measure the metacentric height of a flat-bottomed vessel.

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.

2

Osborne-Reynolds apparatus is used to study laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow.

Test the performance of different positive displacement and dynamic pumps.

1

Test the performance of a dynamic pump for different speeds. Also, can be used to measure the minor losses of different valves.

1

Test the performance of two pumps connected in series or parallel.

3

Test the performance of a Pelton wheel turbine using weight or force brake.
