Welcome to the Mechanical Engineering Department
Fluids Laboratory
Location:192-102
The Fluid Mechanics Laboratory gives students hands-on experience in fundamental and advanced concepts, from the Bernoulli Principle to boundary layer flows and fluid power machinery.
Equipment:
- Air Flow Bench - for frictionless flow studies and boundary layer measurements
- Francis Water Turbine and Pelton Wheel - for hydro-power experiments
- Industrial Axial Fan with LabView instrumentation - for fan performance studies
- Pipe flow experiment for measurement - for measurement of entrance loss and major friction loss
- Demonstration wind tunnel - for lift/drag measurements
- Shear flow test stand - for advanced studies in vortex flow
- 1,000-gallon weighing tank - for water pump performance studies
