Fluid Mechanics and Machinery
The broad field of fluid mechanics lab equipments is considered a fundamental in the training of most engineering disciplines.
As a result, applied fluid mechanics laboratories have long become an integral part of the majority of technical training institutions. GUNT have decades of experience in the design and production of training equipment for fluid mechanics lab.
Physical principles
Fluid mechanics is concerned with the study of forces and movements of liquids and gases. Both substances are continua whose elements can easily move against each other. They are grouped together under the term fluid.
Transient flow
Transient flow: the velocity of a fluid particle changes with the time and the position. Transient flows occur during discharge processes, during startup and shutdown processes of turbomachines or in the case of fluid oscillations and water hammer processes.
Flow around bodies
The understanding of flow around any shape of a body is crucial in fluid dynamics and aerodynamics.
Components in piping systems and plant design
GUNT offers a comprehensive range of educationally valuable section models, assembly and maintenance exercises from the field of pipe systems and plant construction.
Driving machines
A driving machine is a machine that removes energy from a fluid and releases it in the form of mechanical work (W).
Driven machines
Whenever a machine adds energy to a fluid, it is called a driven machine. In order to operate, driven machines require mechanical energy or work (W).
Turbomachines
In turbomachines the energy transfers between fluid and machine by means of flow forces.
Positive displacement machines
Transfer of energy between the fluid and the machine by means of a variable volume, generated by a displacement device.
Thermal fluid energy machines
Thermal fluid energy machines work with compressible fluids.
Hydraulic fluid energy machines
Hydraulic fluid energy machines work with incompressible fluids.
