Major Equipment:

• • Gear Pump Test Rig
• Reciprocating Pump Test Rig • Centrifugal Pump Test Rig • Closed Circuit Vertical Shaft Kaplan Turbine Test Rig (1 Kw) • Closed Pelton Wheel Turbine Test Rig (1 Kw) • Closed Circuit Francis Turbine Test Rig (1 Kw)

Experiments to be Performed:

Fluid power plays an important role in industry. Uses of fluid power include machine tools, off-road vehicles, material testing systems etc. One objective of this course is to introduce students to this exciting field through hands on exercises of connecting up fluid power circuits and observing how they operate. The second objective of the course is to provide students with hands on experience in designing and implementing control systems for real systems.
