a) Ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.
b) Ability to function on multidisciplinary teams.
1.2. Experiment’s Intended Learning Outcomes (EILOs)
At the end of this experiment, the student shall be able to:
a) Familiarize the fundamental parts of the hydraulic bench
b) Identify and operate the fundamental parts of the hydraulic bench
c) Apply the techniques and skills in using the hydraulic machine relevant to
professional engineering practice.
1.3. Objectives of the Experiment
The aim of this experiment is to determine discharge by means of the volumetric method.
1.4. Principle of the Experiment
Many problems in hydraulics require the determination of discharge. One of the most
common approaches of measuring discharge is by the volumetric method. The general
idea is to determine the volume of fluid (water) expelled by a source over a specific
period.
The hydraulic bench unit provides the basic services of supplying water and measuring
its corresponding volume.
The volume flow rate is calculated as follows:
Δvol
Q =
Δt
where:
Q – discharge, liters/s
Δvol – change in volume, liters
Δt – time required for the corresponding change in volume

1.7. Procedures
1. Arrange the experimentation set-up such that the HM150 is placed on a convenient
and level place.
2. Screw the discharge cap or a hose at the end of the discharge pipe.
3. Switch on the main power switch, open the flow adjustment valve and switch on the
pump.
4. Determine the volume flow rate by using a stopwatch to establish the time, t, required
for raising the level in the sight gauge from 20 to 30 liters.
5. Conduct four trials. Ensure that the opening of flow adjustment valve remains the
same for all trials.
