Fluid Mechanics Lab

We have a well-established Basic Fluid Mechanics Lab for undergraduate students. Fluid Mechanics is an introductory course where the study of fluid behaviour and fluid forces is introduced. All the experiments are practical demonstrations of the theory learnt in the class. Undergraduate students/BTech-2nd year students in Autumn Semester perform Fluid Mechanics experiments at FM Lab. The lab has suffient seating capacity to accodmate the studnets in multiple batches. Regular maintenance and servicing is done for smooth functioning of the instruments.
