Fluid Mechanics Laboratory

Fluid mechanics lab picture

In the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory, students are trained on fluid mechanics for the MENG 3104 Fluid Mechanics course. The lab reinforces information learned in lectures and provides students a hands-on experience with a variety of tests used in fluid mechanics. This lab include: viscosity Measurement, Hydrostatic Thrust on a Plane Surface, Calibration of a Bourdon Pressure Gauge, Flow through a Venturi Meter, Impact of a Jet, Flow through an Orifice, Forced Vortex, Frictional losses in pipes and fittings, pipe flow velocity profiles, pressure distribution, differential pressure, and flow measurement devices and techniques.
