Executive summary:

As a fluid flows through a pipe, there are numerous losses due to the nature and characteristic of the pipe. Such losses can be investigated in the laboratory by setting up an experiment. This report, presents the results and discussion of an experiment set up to investigate fluid flow. The laboratory experiment is designed in order to determine the relationship between the head losses resulting due to friction and the velocity of flow of the water. Secondly, the experiment is aimed at comparing the measured and calculated values of head loss determined using the pipe friction equation. The data was collected ...

Lab Report: Experiment on friction in Pipe

Introduction:
Fundamental understanding of fluid flow is important to every industry related to chemical engineering, manufacturing industries etc. The flow networks are required to achieve continuous transport of products and raw materials from different processing units. Energy is required to be applied to the fluid to make it flow through the pipe overcoming energy loss in pipe. The pipe losses in a piping system takes place due to a number of system characteristics such as pipe friction, changes of flow direction, obstructions in flow path, sudden or gradual changes in cross-section and shape of flow path. In this report loss ...

Introduction

The flow of a given volume of fluid through a pipe requires a given amount of energy. In order for fluid flow to occur, there must be pressure or energy difference. During fluid flow through a pipe, energy is lost. The main causes of this loss are the resistance encountered by the fluid in the process of its movement through the pipe. Viscosity is one of the most common forms of resistance to fluid flow through a pipe (Noltingk, 1985, p. 5). Fluids that have high viscosity tend to exhibit high resistance while flowing through a pipe (Considine and ...

Aims

Studying the vibrational modes of organ pipes
Introduction
Sound is a vibration that arises from a mechanical wave of pressure and displacement, through a medium like air or water (Berg and Stock, 23). The reception and perception of these waves by the brain is referred to as sound. On the other hand, acoustics deals with the study of these mechanical waves in matter (pg. 40). In this experiment, the organ pipe is the main target of discussion. This is a sound producing wind instrument that resonates at a specific pitch when pressurized air is driven through it. A complete ...

Introduction

The experiment was conducted to establish the association between head loss as a result of fluid friction and the flow rate of water. Turbulent and laminar flow within the pipe were also investigated. Fluid Friction Equipment containing three bore pipes was used to take the data of head loss at dissimilar velocities. Different readings on volume, time, flow rate, pipe diameter, and velocity and head loss of both mercury and water were collected. The data collected were used to investigate the association between head loss due to friction and the flow rate of water through bore pipes. An estimate ...

Introduction
A wind instrument is an instrument that produces sound by manipulating air through varying the wind pressure passing through the air outputs of the device (Berg and Stock, 27). These devices are heavily dependent on pressure as well as the size and shape of the instrument (pg. 28). A good example of a wind instrument is the organ pipe. It is a tool that produces a specific pitch when pressurized air is driven through it. Organ pipes usually exist in sets, where each is confined to produce a specific tune. Normally, it is a keyboard device that is ...

Verification of Bernoulli’s Equation

Bernoulli’s Equation is among the most crucial equations in fluid mechanics. The experiment led us to conclude that this equation is an example of the initial law of Thermodynamics. In addition, the experiment verified the application of the equation to the steady state flow of an inviscid and incompressible fluid. As the fluid flows in a pipe, the changes in pressure, velocity, and elevation should be consistent in order to satisfy the equation. The restrictions in the application of Bernoulli’s Equation include a steady flow, negligible friction losses, and constant density. Our calculations also verified Bernoulli’s Equation since ...

Introduction

A turbulent jet is a source of energy and momentum in a fluid tank. A jet is considered fully turbulent at a jet laminar for Rej below about 100 and Reynolds number Rej above about 1’000 – 2’000. Therefore, the limit between a turbulent jet and laminar is around the Reynolds number of 3’000 and the significant characteristics of the jet are its discharge and momentum flux.

Eq. 2; Qj = vjAj – jet volume flux
Rej = vjdjv = jet Reynolds number
Frj = vj√g'dj = densimetric jet Froude number

Where;

Vj is the jet velocity at entry point
Aj is the tank ...

BERNOULLI’S EXPERIMENT

ABSTRACT
Two fluid properties, the Bernoulli principle and the Venturi effect, were examined and analyzed in this experiment. A venturi meter was used to measure the fluid flow rate, velocity, and pressure of water (the fluid being examined). The results showed that the fluid pressure decreases as the fluid traveled through a smaller cross sectional area. The minimum fluid pressure (in effect, maximum fluid velocity) was observed in the smallest cross sectional area at position D (diameter 16 mm). The decrease in fluid pressure was compensated by an increase in the fluid velocity. With these two measured phenomena, both ...

Objectives

The aim of this experiment is to study the laminar, transitional and turbulent flow of water in a pipe. This is achieved by observing the flow of colored dye introduced in the pipe, which can be altered by manipulating the flow control valve. Using the observed volume flow rate, the average velocity is computed, and used to calculate the Reynolds number for each case. The visual observations and the Reynolds numbers are then compared to analyze the extent of agreement between theory and experimental results.

Abstract:

Lack of fresh water for agricultural, domestic, and industrial use is a great hindrance to development in many parts of the world. Water shortages are more prominent in the arid and semi-arid areas. In addition to that, the inadequate fresh water resources found in these regions are endangered when it comes to quality due to the numerous man-induced changes. Moreover, the limited water available is limited to groundwater. In there is any surface water, it is mainly flash floods that results from high intensity rainfall that falls for a very short time. Therefore, these floods have very little potential to be a ...

DEFLECTION OF BEAMSIntroduction

Any kind of modern day construction makes use of a component called structural beam, or beam. A beam helps in adding strength of any design or structure. Generally manufactured using steel, wood, or concrete, it is commonly used for spanning any open element of a structure. In any design work based on iron, steel I beam is the most commonly used one. On the other hand, home-based constructions generally make use of wooden beams. When steel I beam is encased within concrete, it forms a concrete beam and is typically used in the construction of heavy structures, such as ...

QUESTION ONE:

In both north end and first floor, two types of the sprinklers may be used which are the wet sprinkler and the system of pre-action sprinkler. The pre-action sprinklers are often more advantageous compared to the wet sprinklers.
The pre action sprinklers operate like the network of storm sprinklers but the only difference is the fact that the sprinklers are shut. This framework is commonly in ranges involving supplies or substances of heightened quality that are delicate. The pre action sprinklers are shut to reduce the impact of pressure on the delicate items.
The wet funnel sprinklers ...
