Shown above is a Hydraulic bench, a very useful apparatus in hydraulics and

fluid mechanics. It is involved in majority of experiments to be conducted in
Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics. Its various accessories and the associated
experimental equipment have been developed to provide a comprehensive
range of experiments. Although the experiments are generally small in scale,
they are manufactured to a high quality standard and are designed to produce
experimental results which compare favorably with theoretical and empirical
data.

IV.

PROCEDURE:
Note: The instructor / laboratory technician will give a brief lecture on the
existing equipment to orient the students as to appearance; type and function
of each part and this would be effectively done in the class so that students
shoul know the function of parts.
1. Draw the schematic diagram of the Hydraulic bench with proper label of
parts.
2. List down all the fittings, appurtenances and include its function.
3. Run the equipment and be able to calculate the volume flow rate of
pump installed using the flow meter attached. Tabulate all the data.

Flow rate or discharge is also equal to the product of cross sectional

area of the conduit and velocity.
Flow rate can also be expressed in terms of mass flow rate and weight
flow rate. That is, flow rate multiplied by the density or unit weight, respectively.
IV.

PROCEDURE:
1. Set the time to zero and as the stream flow in the measuring tank, start
the timer to count.
1. Specify the different time expressed in seconds.

2. Open the faucet and close the faucet as the timer or stop watch shuts off.
3. Tabulate the data with different specified time.
Unit Weight and Mass flow rate Determination:
1. Make an improvised flow system using a funnel and a hose where the fluids
can flow.
2. Start the timer simultaneous with the flow of fluid.
3. Tabulate the data.
