This setup is a compact and self-contained
unit designed for water recirculation. It includes a top tray, a sump tank, and
a measuring tank. The sump tank is equipped with both a drain valve and an
overflow outlet to manage water levels easily. A centrifugal pump is used to
circulate water throughout the system. To allow experiments at different flow
rates, a flow control valve and a bypass valve are installed in the water line.
The water flow rate is measured using the
measuring tank and a stopwatch. The measuring tank helps determine the water
discharge, and once the measurement is taken, the water can be drained back
into the sump tank using the provided valve. Additionally, the measuring tank
has a level indicator and a scale, which make it easy to read the water level
accurately.
Experimental Objective
The
hydraulic bench enables the study of multiple experiments, each with dedicated
setups. It supports experiments such as Hydrostatic Pressure, Flow over Weirs,
Bernoulli’s Theorem, Flow Meter Demonstration, Impact of Jet, Orifice
Discharge, and more. All experiments are conducted using accessories integrated
into the hydraulic bench system.
