About

You will be able to

  • Calibrate rectangular and V-notches and weirs
  • Determine Manning's n and study the hydraulic jump in a tilting flume
  • Measure the force of a jet on vanes
  • Conduct performance tests on Pelton and Francis turbines
  • Draw characteristic curves of centrifugal and reciprocating pumps
  • Record data and compute efficiencies correctly

Who it is for

  • B.Tech Civil Engineering students of Semester 4 (AKTU)
  • Students of other universities studying the same subject who want unit-wise coaching
  • Students who want to revise experiments and viva questions before the practical exam

What you need

  • Hydraulic Engineering and Machines theory of the same semester
  • Calculator and lab record

Questions

Which syllabus does the Hydraulics and Hydraulic Machines Lab course follow?

It follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus for Hydraulics and Hydraulic Machines Lab. If your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university syllabus.

Will this help in the practical exam and viva?

Yes. Each experiment is explained with its aim, procedure, calculations and result, followed by viva questions and a mock practical.

Are turbines run in the lab?

Turbine and pump tests are explained with procedures, observation tables and sample readings; students run them in their college lab.
