Highlights of Hydraulics Laboratory Manual:
Offers 17 “hands-on” experiments in fluids and hydraulics, including concepts such as viscosity, capillarity, continuity, manometers, hydrostatics, Bernoulli, pipe friction and minor loss, open channel flow, pumps, weirs, water hammer, stream gaging, Reynolds number, and aquifers.
Emphasizes real-world applications with practical examples threaded throughout.
Supports undergraduate programs in Civil and Environmental Engineering, Engineering Technology, Environmental Science, and Geology.
Selected experiments are also appropriate for Community Colleges and STEM students in secondary schools.
Provides easy-to-use, detachable data recording sheets, along with thoughtful questions for student discussion.
Experiments are designed to allow for both traditional student lab reports and abbreviated student lab problems.
Features a wide range of laboratory equipment, including vendor-purchased devices, inexpensive table-top labware, and experimental devices that are readily constructible from standard plumbing and carpentry components at a modest cost.
