INTRODUCTION Whenever fluid flows the pipe under pressure, certain amount of head is lost due to resistance. The lose of Energy however depends upon type of flow.
(1) Laminar (2) Turbulent FEATURES : 1) Rust- proof powder coated tank.
2) Glass tube provided to visualise the flow.
3) Dye tank with Pottasium Permangnet.
DISCRIPTION The equipment mainly consists of a storage tank and another small tank which contains ?dye?. The main tank has a horizontal transparent tube with a bell mouth entry and a flow control valve at the discharge side.
The discharged water falls in atmosphere and the rate flow i.e. the velocity of water is varied by the flow control valve.
The dye is introduced in the tube at the bell mouth section. SPECIFICATION (1) Storage tank with flow - 400 mm x 400 mm x 700 mm
(2) Measuring Flask - 1 ltr.
(3) Dye bottle tank - 170 mm x 300 mm long
(4) Transparent tube - 1 meter long wit 25 mm I.D.
(5) Stand to mount glass tube
(6) Balancing tank to maintain - 300 mm x 300 mm x 250 mm constant head.
(7) Potassium Permangnet provided as dye. RANGE OF EXPERIMENTS 1) To determine the Reynold?s number and hence the type of flow either Laminar or turbulent.
2) To determine upper & lower critical Reynold?s number?s & velocities. Almost care is taken for preparing this literature, but still there are any mistakes, those may be excused. We reserve our right to change or modify the equipment without notice. |
