This text describes the development of a cost effective pump laboratory apparatus, built from readily available materials and capable of demonstrating some important and fundamental principles in Fluid Mechanics. A logical format is adhered to, which follows the various stages of the design process. Two systems are discussed, including one which consists of a pump with interchangeable impellers and other essential elements in the circuit for generating pump curves. The second system incorporates two separate pumps with pipe networks that enable them to be switched between series and parallel...
