The laboratory is a basic model which acquires the understanding of fluid properties, fluid characteristics and calibrate the instruments based on Bernoulli’s theorem. This is a common laboratory for both Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering students. The experiments here are designed to demonstrate the applications of the basic fluid mechanics principles like Reynold’s number, frictional losses etc.
