With applications in a wide range of disciplines, including mechanical, civil, chemical and biomedical engineering, the Matrix Fluid Mechanics set enables students to gain a practical understanding of key principles. Six experiments are connected via USB to the pressure and flow sensors so that the results can be automatically plotted for analysis. A further three experiments are performed and recorded manually. Each component is attached to the main workstation with quick-release fasteners, allowing students to quickly set up and take down each experiment. A complete, free curriculum with easy-to-follow worksheets is provided online. Space-saving solution with easy-to-store components. Controller and calibration apps are available free of charge. Robust metal construction that meets the requirements of the education sector. Hoses with robust rubber seals provide a reliable seal. Includes a main workstation and sixteen individual components that allow students to set up nine different experiments without the need for additional tools. Calibration of a Bourdon tube pressure gauge center of pressure on a partially and fully immersed plane. Viscosity apparatus to demonstrate Stoke's law. Use of different types of manometers (multi-tube manometer, U-tube manometer and inclined manometer). Bernoulli's equation and use of a Venturi tube as a flow meter. Pressure losses in bends, measurement and comparison of pressure losses of different bend geometries. Characteristic curves of centrifugal pumps. Experimental determination of the pressure/flow characteristics of a pump and determination of the overall efficiency of series pumps. Experimental determination of the pressure/flow characteristics of 2 pumps connected in series. Experimental determination of the pressure/flow characteristics of 2 pumps connected in parallel.
