Description
basic experiments in hydrostatics
wide range of experiments
closed water circuit with tank and pump
Hydrostatics is the study of fluids at rest. Phenomena occurring as a result of hydrostatic pressure are analysed and the force effect determined. Hydrostatic aspects play a crucial role in various areas of engineering, such as in plumbing and domestic engineering, in pump manufacturing, in aerospace and
in shipping (buoyancy, load on the sides of a ship).
Learning objectives/experiments
