Force on surfaces. |
We will calculate the force exerted by a jet that impacts on different types of static plates. |
Open, semi-open and closed flow: head losses, flow measurement, inertial effects and visualization. |
We will determine the air velocity profile inside a pipe and the pressure drop in the same pipe.
We will calibrate different flow meters: an Orifice Plate, a Venturi and a Rotameter of variable section. |
Heat transfer |
Measurement of radiation heat transfer.
Measurement of free and forced convection. |
Hydraulic machines: pumps and turbines. |
Determine the characteristic H-Q curves of two simple centrifugal pumps at a fixed rotation speed and of two centrifugal pumps associated in series and in parallel.
Determine the operating characteristics of a Pelton turbine at different speeds and study the variation of engine torque, power, discharge and performance of the turbine according to its rotational speed. |
