Experiment - Various Parts of Hydraulic Bench By: Haseeb Jamal / On: Apr 26,2017 / HYDRAULICS/LAB EXPERIMENTS LAB-NOTES Hydraulic bench is a very useful apparatus in hydraulics and fluid mechanics. It is involved in majority of experiments to be conducted e.g. To find the value of the co-efficient of velocity ‘Cv’, coefficient of discharge ‘Cd’, to study the characteristic: flow over notches, to find metacent Jjht, to find head losses through pipes, to verify Bernoulli’s theorem etc.Farts Of nydaraulic bencn Machine: Its parts are given below: Centrifugal pump It draws water from sump tank and supplies it for performing experiments. Sump Tank It stores water for Hydraulic bench. It is located in the bottom portion of Hydraulic bench, Water from here is transported to other parts by using a pump. It has a capacity of 160 liters. Vertical pipe It supplies water to the upp of hydraulic bench from sump tank through a pump.Control valve It is used to regulate the flow in the pipe i.e. to increase or decrease the inflow of water in the hydraulic bench.Connecter With the help of this we can attach accessories with the hydraulic bench. Special purpose terminations may be connected to the pumn_ supply by unscrewing connector, he tools are required for doing so. It ted in the channel.Channel It is used in number of experiments It provides passage for water for different experiments. Drain valve It is used for emptying sump tank. Side channels They are the upper sides of the channel. They are used to attach accessories on test. Volumetric tank It stores water coming from channel. This tank is stepped to accommodate low or high flow rates. It has a capacity of 46 liters.Stilling baffle It decreases the turbulence of water coming from channel. It is located in the volumetric tank.—pcale & Tapping A sight tube and scale is connected to a tapping in the base of the volumetric tank and gives an instantaneous indication of water level. Dump valve It is at the base of the volumetric tank. Opening the dump valve allows the entrained water to return to the sump tank for recycling. It is used for emptying volumetric tank. It is located in the bottom of the volumetric tank. Actuator Dump valve is operated by gatamaate actuator, lifting actuator opens the di, amve, when itis given a turn of 90’ it wil e dump valve in the open position.Over flow It is an opening in the upper portion of the volumetric tank. It sends the water level above 46 lits to the sump tank. Measuring cylinderThe hydraulic bench Objective To measure the volume flow rate at various valve positions using the volumetric tank of the hydraulic bench. Apparatus 1.
