Laboratory Manual Hydraulics And Hydraulic Machines

This manual presents 31 laboratory-tested experiments in hydraulics and hydraulic machines. This manual is organized into two parts. The first part equips the student with the basics of fluid properties, flow properties, various flow measuring devices and fundamentals of hydraulic machines. The second part presents experiments to help students understand the basic concepts, the phenomenon of flow through pipes and flow through open channels, and the working principles of hydraulic machines. For each experiment, the apparatus required for conducting the experiment, the probable experimental set-up, the theory behind the experiment, the experimental procedure, and the method of presenting the experimental data are all explained. Viva questions (with answers) are also given. In addition, the errors arising during recording of observations, and various precautions to be taken during experimentation are explained with each experiment. The manualis primarily designed for the undergraduate degree students and diploma students of civil engineering, mechanical engineering and chemical engineering.

The Experiments Described Are Required To Be Performed By Students Of Diploma Courses For The Course Hydraulics And By Students Of Degree Courses For The Course Fluid Mechanics-1.The Manual Explains The Procedure For Performing The Experiment. The Description Is In The Form Of A Detailed Laboratory Report. It Covers The Handling Of Apparatus, How To Take Observations And Present Results. The Book Includes Tables And Graph Sheets Where Observations Are To Be Recorded And Results Plotted. Students Are Required To Interpret The Results And Will Appreciate The Importance And Significance Of The Experiment To The Real-Life Situation.This Manual Will Save The Student The Bother Of Writing Out The Procedure, Drawing Tables And Purchasing Loose Graph Sheets (Including Log-Log Graph Sheets) For Pasting Into His Journal. The Book Will Form A Complete And Lasting Record Of His Work. It Will Cut Down The Time The Teacher Needs To Spend On Describing The Procedure.The Manual Will Be A Great Help To Both Teachers And Students.

In Almost All Technical Institutions Of Learning, The Laboratory Work In Any Subject Runs Concurrently With The Course In Theory Of The Subject. Consequently, The Students Perform The Laboratory Work Mechanically Without Intellectual Involvement In The Work. It Is, Therefore, Necessary That The Students, Before Conducting The Experimental Work, Are Familiarized With Elementary Theoretical And Other Aspects Relevant To The Experimental Work. This Book Is An Attempt To Serve This Objective For The Subject Of Hydraulic Engineering.The Contents Of The Book Include Description Of Basic Facilities In Hydraulic Engineering Laboratory, Elementary Terms Of Fluid Mechanics, Fundamental Equations Governing The Fluid Motion, Introduction To Open Channel Flow, A Note On Writing Laboratory Reports, And Instructional Description Of Several Experiments Including Those On Basic Hydraulic Engineering (Or Fluid Mechanics), Pipe Flow, Open Channel Flow, Boundary Layers, And Hydraulic Structures.Instructional Description Of Each Experiment Includes The Object (S), Brief Theoretical Background, Description Of One Typical Set-Up For The Experiment, Procedure For Conducting The Experiment And Carrying Out Computations. The Required Graph Sheets Have Also Been Provided In Order To Make The Book Self-Contained.

Excerpt from Hydraulic Power Engineering: A Practical Manual on the Concentration and Transmission of Power by Hydraulic Machinery This work may be regarded as a successor to a smaller volume by the same Author on "Hydraulic Machinery," published in 1891, which he prepared with a view to the assistance of engineering students and others who might be practically interested in the subject. In the present volume an attempt is made to give an outline discussion and description of the main points and principles requiring attention by engineers having the responsibility of designing or constructing works and appliances for the utilisation of water for the transmission of power. It would be impossible in any single volume to deal adequately or comprehensively with the many problems arising in the different sections into which the very large subject of Hydraulics and Hydraulic Engineering naturally divides itself. The Author, therefore, has contented himself with giving examples which have special reference to the particular sections in which they occur; and in addition, he has endeavoured to lead up to the general subject by a brief examination of the principles underlying the whole study.

This laboratory manual is comprised of 14 laboratory experiments, covering topics of water quality, water treatment, groundwater hydrology, liquid static force, pipe flow, and open channel flow. These experiments are organized with a very logical flow to cover the related topics of environmental and hydraulics engineering within university-level courses. This state-of-the-art manual is divided into two sections--environmental engineering experiments and hydraulic engineering experiments--with seven experiments for each section. It provides the basic hands-on training for junior-year civil and environmental engineering students. In each experiment, fundamental theories in the topic area are revisited and mathematic equations are presented to guide practical applications of these theories. Tables, figures, graphs, and schematic illustrations are incorporated into the context to give a better understanding of concept development, experimental design, and data collection and recording. Each experiment ends with discussion topics and questions to help students better understand the content of the experiment. This manual mainly serves as a textbook for an environmental and hydraulics engineering laboratory course. Professionals and water/wastewater treatment plant managers may also find this manual of value for their daily jobs. In addition, students in related areas can use this manual as a reference and the general public may use it to educate themselves on water quality testing and water flow.
