2. Calibration of constant and variable head meters
3. Calibration of weirs and notches
4. Open drum orifice and draining time
5. Flow through straight pipe
6. Flow through annular pipe
7. Flow through helical coil and spiral coil
8. Losses in pipe fittings and valves
9. Characteristic curves of pumps (Centrifugal / Gear / Reciprocating)
10. Pressure drop studies in packed column
11. Hydrodynamics of fluidized bed
12. Drag coefficient of solid particle
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
COURSE OUTCOMES:
On completion of the course, the students would be able to
CO1 Identify and characterize of flow patterns and regimes
CO2 Calibrate flow measurement devices
CO3 Correlate the difference between fixed and fluidized bed columns and its application.
CO4 Select pumps for the transportation of fluids based on process conditions/requirements and fluid properties
CO5 Compare the results of theoretical analytical models to the actual behavior of real fluid flows and draw sustainable conclusions
