Square tube frame and further mounted on a wheels (CI) with instrumentation panel is used i) To study the performance of vapour compression Refrigeration system using water cooled condenser / water cooled evaporator, ii) Co efficient of performance (COP) of the system. 01. Hermitically Sealed Compressor. Capacity.

An orifice meter is a piece of equipment used to measure the flow rate of a gas or a fluid. It mainly consists of an orifice plate, an orifice plate housing, and a meter tube

The metacentric height (GM) is a measurement of the initial static stability of a floating body. It is calculated as the distance between the centre of gravity of a ship and its metacentre. A larger metacentric height implies greater initial stability against overturning.

Electrical Analogy Apparatus helps students to study the similarity between flow of electric current and flow of water through a closed conduit. The flow in the first system is governed by the Ohm's law whereas that in the latter case is governed by DarcyWeisbach equation.

The Venturi effect is the reduction in fluid pressure that results when a moving fluid speeds up as it flows through a constricted section of a pipe. The Venturi effect is named after its discoverer, the 18th-century Italian physicist Giovanni Battista Venturi.

When a fluid is flowing through the pipe, it is subjected to resistance to flow due to shear forces between the pipe wall and fluid particles and between the fluid particles also. This resistance is generally called frictional resistance. This resistance depends upon the velocity of flow and area of surface in contact. It also depends upon the type of flow, i.e. laminar or turbulent. This frictional resistance causes loss of pressure in the direction of flow

To observe pattern for laminar and tribulation
