Essays on Laminar

Abstract

The experiment was done to investigate the relative roughness of pipe three though a plot of the friction factor verses the Reynolds number. A comparison of the obtain results was made against a Moody diagram. Also, additional comparison of the experimental results obtained from pipe 1 and 2 were made against theoretical values obtained through Prandtl and Blasius equations. This process entailed plotting the theoretical and the experimental values on the same comparative roughness against Reynolds number chart. Additional results of different types of flow, exhibited by the flowing fluid, was done and represented in a graph of head ...

This project aims at integrating modern engineering concepts and principles in the design of AERO-2016-WPAP-1111. The underlying concepts for this design involve the advancement of the traditional design processes to modern architecture to enhance the performance of the aircraft. The three most important operational precepts of this design include lightweight structures, incorporation of advanced engineering practices, and escalated aerodynamic performance of the plane. Therefore, the realization of the capability of this plane is inherent to its varying take-off weights. Principally, this essay explains various approaches that are applied in the design and operation of the AERO-2016-WPAP-111 aircraft, and how ...

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 ...
