Energy Losses in Straight Pipes

Product Description

Description: TheFluid Energy Losses in Straight Pipes Tray provides hands on experimentationdesigned to demonstrate energy losses due to the geometry of the flow path atdifferent flow rates.Utilisingthe service unit the experiments rapidly mount onto the multifunctional workpanel and is connected to the built-in water supply via quick connectcouplings. Differential pressure reading is taken using a digital manometeragainst varying flow rates.Thetray includes the following Hydraulic Circuits: Smoothand Roughened pipe 6mm diameterContractionand expansion 8mm 4mm 8mm diametersTechnical Specifications: Explanationof basic principles such as conservation of mass Conservationof energy Explainenergy loss and frictional loss Typesof flow steady and unsteady flow, uniform and non-uniform flow etc. Typesof fluid flow regime i.e. laminar, turbulent and transitional flow Comparemeasured pressure drop from 3 different pipe forms, explaining the effect ofgeometry on pressure drop. UsingBernoull is equation, calculate the pressures and compare results withexperimental values. Calculatethe frictional head loss and pressure drop using Darcys equation
