Undergraduate Laboratory Equipment
The Laboratory
Four Stroke Diesel Engine with
DAQ
This lab is where Fluid Mechanics and
Thermodynamics Students do their lab
experiments.
The Four-Stroke Diesel Engine
Module is designed for investigations
and experiments on engines and
motors by calculating thermal
efficiency in the engine. The PC-aided
sensors allow data acquisition in
experiments.
Hydrostatic Pressure Apparatus Fundamentals of Temperature
Measurement
The hydrostatic force and the center of
pressure can be measured for any level
of fluid when balanced weights are used
to counter the force from the center of
pressure on the walls of the vessel.
Fundamentals of temperature
measurement which enables you to
compare different experimental
approaches that are used in
temperature measurement.

its different heater surfaces and
adjustable speed fan, the test stand
provides an insight into industrial
applications of heat transfer by the
convection.
Vapour Pressure Refrigeration
Cycle
Properties of Fluids and
Hydrostatic Bench
This apparatus is used to determining
the coefficient of performance of a
vapour compression refrigeration cycle.
The cooling coils and compressor unit
are used to drop the temperature of a
fluid.
The bench investigates the hydrostatic
pressure and its effects on different
areas of the surrounding vessels. The
water levels in the communicating
tubes are observed under different
pressure situations.

Hydrodynamic Trainer / PC
Flow Visualisation Table
This measures the flow losses and
pressure characteristics of different
pipes and piping components during
laminar and turbulent flow by pressure
sensors that send the data to the
adjacent computer.
This Flow Visualization Table allows
students to observe the streamlines and
flow patterns in fluids and to exam the
influences of sources and sinks on the
streamlines.
Venturi Tube
Variable Speed Centrifugal
Pump
This is the Venturi tube which is used
to demonstrate the Bernoulli’s Law and
the Energy Equation by measuring the
fluid height differences in the wall
pressure taps.
The variable speed centrifugal pump is
used to determine the pump efficiency,
the electrical input power of the drive
motor and the hydraulic output power
of the pump.
