Energy Losses in Bends

Product Description

Description:

• The Fluid Science Energy Losses in BendsSystems Tray provides hands on experimentation designed to demonstrate energylosses due to the geometry of the flow path at different flow rates.
• Utilising the service unit theexperiments rapidly mount onto the multifunctional work panel and is connectedto the built-in water supply via quick connect couplings.
• Differential pressure reading is takenusing a digital manometer against varying flow rates.
• The tray includes the followingHydraulic Circuits:
• Energy losses in Bends
• Shallow bend Radii 75mm, 6mm diameter
• Tight Bend Radii 25mm, 6mm diameter
• Mitre Bend, 6mm diameter.

TechnicalSpecifications:

• Explanation of basic principles such asconservation of mass
• Conservation of energy
• Explain energy loss and frictional loss
• Types of flow steady and unsteady flow,uniform and non-uniformflow etc
• Types of fluid flow regime i.e. laminar,turbulent and transitional flow
• Compare measured pressure drop from 3different pipe forms, explaining the effect of geometry on pressure drop
• Using Bernoullis equation, calculatethe pressures and compare results with experimental values
•
