FLUID MECHANICS

The Fluid Mechanics Laboratory is an integral part of the U V Patel College of Engineering; the facilities are used to offer Fluid Mechanics Laboratory and Fluid Mechanics Theory as well as, to run demonstrative experiments for Civil, Mechanical engineering students. It covers measuring devices and techniques, error analysis in experimental works and analysis of assumptions in the theory of fluid mechanics. The fluid mechanics laboratory is actively engaged in research on a wide range of topics. The research areas are inspired by practical applications that already exist in a few cases, but also those that are yet to be realized. This lab would provide a framework for conceiving real-life systems of remarkable complexity.

  1. The Fluid Mechanics Laboratory consisof in four parts:
  2. Hydrodynamics section: includes equipment for closed conduit flow, a small open channel flume, and turbo machinery moAirflow
  3. Air flow room: includes apparatus to study flow through nozzles, airflow in bends, drag force and boundary layer.
  4. Hydraulics section: Venturiflume, orifice meter and Notches are provided here.

Workshop room: contains the equipment and machinery used for maintenance and repair of the laboratory installations. The Fluids Mechanics Lab has access to experienced researchers and technicians that offer consulting services to the industry, government and other universities. The lab is increasingly obtaining field measurement equipment for fluid flow variables such as pressure and discharge. It also has the capability for calibration of several flow meters and conventional methods for comparisons.
