Fundamentals of water flow: Experiments on water flow in open flumes and in pipes, transparent design allows observation of the flow processes.

Features:- water flow in open channels,- experiments on pipe flow,- closed water circuit. Learning objectives/experiments,- fundamentals of pipe flow and open-channel flow,- differential pressure measurement at the orifice, Venturi nozzle, pipe bends and pipe angles, contraction and enlargement,- investigation of weir structures in an open channel ,- in conjunction with a power meter ,-- recording a pump characteristic.
