DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING OF EXPERIMENTAL EQUIPMENT FOR PUMPS AND HYDRAULICS STUDY

Abstract

The project “Design and Manufacturing of Experimental Equipment for Pumps and Hydraulics Study” was developed to provide Mekong University students with a practical tool for research and training. The system includes a centrifugal pump connected to three pipes of different sizes, together with valves, a flow meter, an orifice, and a Venturi tube. Water circulates from a lower tank through these devices to an upper tank and back. There are suitable instruments to measure voltage, current, vacuum, pressure, and hydraulic losses. The equipment enables students to study pump performance and pressure losses in pipes and fittings. Two experimental lessons were also prepared for student practice.
