Course Objectives

• To identify the behavior of analytical models introduced in lecture to the actual behavior of real fluid flows.
• To explain the standard measurement techniques of fluid mechanics and their applications.
• To illustrate the students with the components and working principles of the Hydraulic machines- different types of Turbines, Pumps, and other miscellaneous hydraulics machines.
• To analyze the laboratory measurements and to document the results in an appropriate format.

Course Outcomes: Students who successfully complete this course will have demonstrated ability to:

• Describe the basic measurement techniques of fluid mechanics and its appropriate application.
• Interpret the results obtained in the laboratory for various experiments.
• Discover the practical working of Hydraulic machines- different types of Turbines, Pumps, and other miscellaneous hydraulics machines.
• Compare the results of analytical models introduced in lecture to the actual behavior of real fluid flows and draw correct and sustainable conclusions.
• Write a technical laboratory report
