Hello sir would you please give me some information about Fluid Mechanics Laboratory, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur?

[Kiran Chandar]

The Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur was founded in 1959, it is a public research college and it was declared to be Institute of National Importance by Government of India under IIT Act.

Fluid Mechanics Laboratory
This lab is run in conjunction with the theory course ME 231 (Fluid Mechanics) and it runs closely with the lectures in such a way that experiments support the text covered in the class room

Equipment:

Low speed wind tunnel

Smoke tunnel

Open-channel flow apparatus

Jet arrangement

Viscometer

Reynolds apparatus

Force transducers

Imaging devices

Experiments:

Jet impact on flat and curved surfaces

Measurement of drag on a circular cylinder in high Reynolds number flow

Energy loss measurements in subcritical and supercritical open channel flow

Measurement of fluid viscosity

Determination of friction factor as a function of Reynolds number in pipe flow
