The Labtronic Experimental flume hydraulic unit is a transparent flow channel that provides visualization for conducting experiments. This open channel flow water system is a closed circuit, where a centrifugal pump draws water from a storage tank and passes it through a flowmeter to accurately measure the flow rate. The water is then pumped into the inlet tank and directed to the exit port of the channel unit, where it returns to the storage water tank.
To ensure smooth water flow through the channel, the inlet water tank is equipped with baffles. Additionally, an adjustable inclination system is located beneath the channel, allowing for sloped simulation and creating a uniform flow at a constant discharge depth.
The outlet water tank is designed with a variety of shapes, including weirs, piers, flow-measuring flumes, and even a wave generator. All shapes feature quick release fittings for easy installation and experimentation. Overall, the Labtronic Experimental flume hydraulic unit is a reliable and versatile tool for conducting hydraulic experiments.
Demonstrate the principles of fluid mechanics when applied to engineering structures in open channel flow. Also investigate the characteristic a standing wave (the hydraulic jump) produced when waters beneath an undershot weir and to observe the flow patterns obtained and demonstrating the characteristic of standing wave produce when waters beneath an undershot weir thus observe the patterns flow.
