| Topic | Sub-topic |
| Pràctica 2 | Assess the viscosity of liquids with a rotary viscometer. |
| Pràctica 1 | Assess the viscosity of liquids with the Cannon-Fenske viscometer. Analyze the dependence of viscosity with concentration and temperature. |
| Pràctica 3 | Observe the qualitative differences between the different flow regimes (laminar, transitional and turbulent) in a pipe of circular section. |
| Pràctica 4 | Measure the force exerted by an impinging jet over different types of static plates. |
| Pràctica 5 | Measure the resultant force due to hydrostatic pressure acting on a flat surface partially or fully submerged in a liquid in equilibrium. |
| Pràctica 6 | Determine the velocity profile and pressure drop of air circulating inside a pipe. |
| Pràctica 7 | Calibrate different flow meters: orifice plate, venturimeter and variable section rotameter. |
| Pràctica 8 | 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. |
| Pràctica 9 | 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. |
| Pràctica 10 | Determine the characteristics of water hammer in a pipe produced by the sudden closing of a valve. |
| Pràctica 11 | Determine the characteristics of the oscillation of a cylindrical column of fluid caused by pressure variations in a pipe after the sudden closing of a valve |
| Pràctica 12 | Determine the distribution of the average velocity at the exit of a circular jet from measurements of pressure differences and analyze how it is related to the flow rate, the flow of momentum and kinetic energy at different distances from the jet exit |
| Pràctica 13 |
Use EPANET to model a water supply network, obtain velocities and pressures in pipelines, and simulate different typical problems in these systems |
| Pràctica 14 | 1) Use FluidSim to model and simulate some elementary pneumatic circuits, to 2) build them with the elements of the laboratory pneumatic bench, observing and describing their operation |
