Objectives:
Getting introduced to different devices used in fluid
mechanics applications so if you see it in the
industrial world you will know what you are dealing
with , and also to do further research on this
devices to know more information about their
structure and theory of operation .
The Devices:
Multi-Stage Pump
Submerged Centrifugal Pump
Double Eye Suction Impeller
Swash Plate Piston Pump
Gear Pump
Hydraulic Jack
Nozzle
Telescopic Cylinder
Hydraulic Cylinder
10 Directional Control Valves
3 Position, 4 Way, Spring-Centered, Solenoid-
Operated Directional- Control Valve
Francis Turbine
Kaplan Thrust Propeller
Pelton Wheel

Submerged Centrifugal Pump
Procedures:
First, we connect the pump with the electric motor
and check that its tied and coupled with the motor.
Check that the delivery valve is closed before
starting the electric motor Operate the electric
motor to start the pump at a certain speed
Readings:

Experiment 3 Positive
Displacement Pumps
Experiment (3-a): Single Piston Pump without
Damping:
Objective:
Demonstrating the operation of reciprocating pump
.without damping
Procedures:
1. Check that delivery valve is opened & suction valve
is closed
2. Operate the electric motor then open suction valve
3. Operate the pump at low speed
4. Increase the speed gradually
5. Observe the reading of pressures of suction and
delivery gauge
6. After the observation close the suction valve and
switch of the motor
Procedures:
1. Check that delivery valve is opened & suction
valve is closed
2. Operate the electric motor then open the
suction valve
3. Controlling delivery pressure using delivery
valve
4. Taking reading of suction and delivery pressure
5. Measure discharge using collecting tank and
stop watch
6. Switch off experiment
Procedures:
1. Check that suction valve is opened & delivery valve
is closed
2. Operate the electric motor then open suction valve
3. Regulate the delivery pressure using suction valve
4. Take reading of suction and delivery pressure
5. Switch off experiment

Experiment 3-a
Experiment 3-b ( Part one Part two )
Procedures:
1.Before using the equipment ensure that the reservoir is
filled with clean water.
2.Follow the following route of water flow: Suction Tank
suction pipe (1) suction valve (1) delivery valve (2)
common delivery valve
Other valves are closed
3.Switch on Pump (1) motor
4.Regulate the discharge using the common delivery valve
5.Take the appropriate reading using the connected
meters; Manometric head and orifice manometer.
6.Record the readings and compare it with curves given in
the lecture.
The Devices:
1. Venturi tube. 2. Orifice meter. 3. Shunt
orifice. 4. Pitot tube. 5. Rotameter.
Readings:
Picture:
Procedures:
1. We first operate the compressor at a certain flow
rate.
2. We take the readings from the three pressure
transducers and the pressure gauge then take the
reading of the pressure from the test gauge
bordon.
3. We change input flow rate of the compressor to
the system and measure different pressures like the
previous step.
4. Plot a graph for the readings of the four devices
versus the calibrated pressure

lift hydraulic circuit.
2- To illustrate the main components setup and
operation in the hydraulic circuit of the forklift.
Circuit Components:
Procedures:
The fork lift operates with two degrees of freedom,
up, down, and tilting.
