Mini Hydro Power Plant
This is a self contained bench top unit for studying the power generation by a hydraulic turbine. The unit consist of a storage tank and a low head pump to simulate a dam reservoir, a cross flow hydraulic turbine, a generator which is connected to the turbine by a V-belt, a lamp load bank, a dynamometer, and measuring instrument.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS
- Turbine torque vs speed at various heads and flow rates.
- Mechanical power output vs speed for various heads and flow rates.
- Mechanical efficiency vs speed for a given head and flow rate.
- Electrical power output at various heads and flow rates.
- Overall power plant efficiency at various electrical loads.

Hydraulic Studies and AccessoriesPipe Friction
This equipment measures pressure drop when water flows through a vertical pipe at various flow rates both laminar and turbulent. It is to be used with Hydraulics Bench i.e. HB100 or HB100N (separately supplied).
It consists of adjustable constant head water source of removable clear acrylic cylinder for laminar flow. Turbulent flow may be achieved by directly connecting the pipe to the Hydraulics Bench water supply. A water manometer with a vent valve, a hand air pump and a differential pressure gauge are provided for measurement of pressure drop. A valve at the outlet is used to control outlet pressure.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS- Investigations of laminar and turbulent flows
- Demonstration and measurement in a change of the laws of resistance (friction factor) from laminar to turbulent flow
TECHNICAL DATAWater manometer 450 mm x 1 mm graduation. Differential pressure gauge 1 ea. Test section length Over 500 mm. Measuring cup 1 L. Software for data display and analysis by computer (separately supplied) (0 reviews) -
Hydraulic Studies and AccessoriesMetacentric Height
This equipment is designed to determine the metacentric height of a floating body and the height variation with the tilt angle. It is to be used with Hydraulics Bench i.e. HB100 or HB100N or a bowl (separately supplied).
The equipment consists of a rectangular pontoon. The center of gravity of the pontoon can be moved sideways by moving horizontal jockey weight.
The angle of tilt of the pontoon is indicated by a plumb-bob on a scale attached. The center of gravity of the pontoon can also be moved vertically by means of adjustable vertical weights on the mast.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS- Experiment to illustrate the floatation characteristics
- Determination of the Metacentric Height
TECHNICAL DATAPontoon 400 mm long x 200 mm wide x 100 mm high. Horizontal scale 1 mm graduation. Maximum angle of tilt ± 13ox 0.5º graduation Vertical sliding weight 1 ea. Jockey weight 1 ea. Software for data display and analysis by computer (separately supplied). (0 reviews)
