Topic | Sub-topic |
Measurement of physical properties. | Determine the viscosity of liquids with the Cannon-Fenske viscometer. Analyze the dependence of viscosity with concentration and temperature. |
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. |
Mass transfer: diffusivity. | Experimentally find the mass diffusion coefficient in the liquid phase. |
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. |
