Determination of Pressure by Simple Manometers in Fluid Mechanics
Manometers are devices used to determine the pressure at any point in fluid either by balancing the same fluid column or by using another fluid column. A simple manometer consists of a tubular arrangement where one end of the tube ...
Determination of Metacentric Height of a Floating Body
A point about which a floating body tries to oscillate is called the metacenter of that body. The distance between metacenter (M) and the center of gravity (G) of the floating body is known as metacentric height (GM). The laboratory ...
Hydraulic Coefficients of an Orifice
The laboratory experiment procedure to determine hydraulic coefficients of an orifice is explained in this article. The coefficient of contraction, the coefficient of velocity and coefficient of discharge are hydraulic coefficients of an orifice. Theory When flow takes place through ...
PROPERTIES OF FLUID
PROPERTIES OF FLUID 1. DENSITY OR MASS DENSITY Density or mass density of a fluid is defined as the ratio of the mass of a fluid to its volume. Thus mass per unit volume of a fluid is called density. ...
