Manual de Prácticas de Laboratorio Hidráulica

Abstract

The following manual is presented as a guide for the elaboration of laboratory practices developed in the programs of fluid mechanics, pipes and channels of the faculty of civil engineering. It seeks to contextualize the methodology that is must be carried out for the development of these practices. This manual presents 20 practices designed with the tools and equipment available in the hydraulics laboratory of the Santo Tomás University, which contains the practical step by step and simple of each laboratory, and in addition to this it presents 20 illustrative videos; 1 for each practice to further facilitate the understanding of these laboratories and thus guarantee a better quality in the learning and development of practices by the students. This document is for the exclusive use of students who are studying the aforementioned subjects, in order to acquire sufficient bases to develop any of the laboratory practices described here and that beyond following a step by step, they can understand the foundation theory of things and can apply in practice the knowledge learned in class. At the same time, develop data collection skills, analysis of results and propose conclusions that lead to relate what has been learned with the behavior of existing hydraulic structures
