Synopsis: The objective of this is laboratory session is to introduce the basic concepts of data analysis using Excel Spreadsheets. Students will learn how to enter formula in spreadsheets using absolute and relative referencing. In addition, students will also develop report quality figures using Excel spreadsheet. Although, Google is an excellent resource for collaboratively writing reports, it lacks the sophisticated tools for producing quality figures for reporting and publication purposes.

Synopsis: The objective of this is laboratory experiment is to calculate the trajectory of a jet flowing through an orifice from a tank with water at constant head. Students will use the Toricelli's equation to compare the loss due to the contraction of the orifice (vena contracta) and due to the drag forces. Students compute the overall coefficient of discharge for the orifice by quantifying the losses.

Synopsis: The objective of this is laboratory experiment is to use the venturi apparatus to study the Bernoulli's equation. Students will observe the pressure drop at different parts of the venturi apparatus ising piezometers. They will further calculate the losses between piezometers and track the variation between pressure and velocity head at each point in the venturi. They will use the pressure and velocity heads to calculate the total head along the venturi meter and compare it with the Bernoulli's equation to check if the total head is constant.
