DESCRIPTION -: The apparatus consists of rectangular transparent flow section connecting two tanks, the section can be easily removed or connected to two tanks. It converges for a small length & diverges for the remaining length. Flow can be controlled by a gate valve. Pizometers connected to flow section, make it possible to measure pressure heads & give visual observations of hydraulic gradient.
SPECIFICATIONS 1) Tanks : 2 numbers of suitable size mounted on stand.
2) Flow channel of 90 cm length made out of perspex sheets.
3) Prizometer tubes equispaced at 5 cm.
4) Measuring tank of 100 lit. cap.
5) Stop clock.
6) Prizometer tubes equispaced at 5 cm.
7) Measuring tank of 100 lit. cap.
8) Stop clock. RANGE OF EXPERIMENTS 1) Bernoulli?s theorem for the flow of real liquid can be verified.
2) Hydraulic grade line & the total energy line along the flow section can be plotted & can be studied. SERVICE REQUIRED -: 1) Suitable water supply arrangement. 0.5 to 3 L.P.S. 2) Suitable drainage arrangement. 3) Floor Space : 3m x 1.5m. |
