The present Gear Pump Test Rig is a self-contained unit operated on closed circuit basis containing a sump tank.The set-up consists of a Gear Pump having a pair of meshed gears,coupled with a DC Motor.Power input to the DC Motor is varied by means of a Thyristor controlled DC Drive to vary the RPM of motor. A RPM Indicator with Proximity sensor indicates the RPM of Pump. Flow of fluid is measured by using flow sensor.Vacuum sensor is fitted on suction line and Pressure sensor is fitted on delivery line to measure the pressure.The present set-up has a facility to interface the system with computer which enables to log the experimental data using computer. The educational software and data-logging package has been developed for unit.The software environment base is of Lab view of NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS, USA.This software is compatible to interfacing unit designed by C. L. Engineers.This software package provides a comprehensive educational software environment within which the investigations can be performed.This software is capable to tabulate the sample readings according to the requirement of experiment under study and results obtained can be compared. The real time data acquisition can be done by interfacing the set-up with computer using software. Software allows the user to have control on data logging, printing the stored data,preparing spread sheets in Excel etc.
