The Prime Movers and Fluid Machines lab provides a platform for the students to understand and apply the concepts learnt in the theory course. It introduces the students to the commonly used fluid machines like pumps and compressors and scaled down models of hydraulic turbines. It also includes few experiments on IC Engines. The experiments are mainly focused on obtaining the Performance Characteristics curves for the respective machines. The students also learn about the errors and biases that may affect their experiments and also to quantify the uncertainty in the measurements.
