Losses in Pipe Friction Apparatus



SPECIFICATION

Losses in Pipe Friction Apparatus

Technical Specifications

  • This Pipe Friction Apparatus allows students to study the change in the laws of resistance for laminar to turbulent flow and find the critical Reynolds number.
  • During flow through pipes, pressure losses occur due to internal friction and friction between the fluid and the wall.
  • The friction factor is determined with the aid of the Reynolds number, which describes the ratio of inertia forces to friction forces.
  • Direct measurement of the pipe friction in laminar or turbulent flow.
  • Transparent tank with overflow ensures constant water inlet pressure in the pipe section for experiments with laminar flow.
  • For experiments with turbulent flow rate adjustment via valves.
  • Shows the critical Reynolds Number and verifies Poiseuille’s Equation for laminar flow
  • Twin tube manometers for measurements in laminar flow.
  • Twin tube manometer for measurements in turbulent flow.
