Course Objectives
- Help students to develop an understanding of free surface flow and enclosed flow in the real field but in the controlled environment.
- To study the variation of dependent hydraulic variables with independent variables of pipe flow and open channel flow.
- To verify the theoretical results with the experimental results.
- To study different flow meters that will be useful for flow measurements and design study in water resources engineering.
Course Outcomes
At the end of the laboratory student can <br />1. Become efficient in knowledge on the different hydraulics properties involved in River and channel flow problems. <br />2.Perform experimental project work and the theory becomes easier . <br />3.Design pipe and open channel flow for different geometric, roughness and flow parameters.
