Project Description

Hydraulic Machines Laboratory

Hydraulic Machines, such as pumps and turbines are most usable machines for power generation and used in various engineering application respectively. In HM Lab, different pump test rigs are there to study the characteristics different types of pump used in industries and daily life. All pump testing facilities are computerized and highly sophisticated. Also some manual machines are kept to increase the analytical ability of the students through manual calculations. Three types of turbine test rigs are there in the lab. During experiments, students conducted experiments to study the turbine characteristics under different head, load and speed conditions. All the turbine setups are also fully computerized and highly précised. Various test rigs available are enlisted below.
