Sample Report Osbourne Reynolds
ABSTRACT
Firstly, the objectives of the experiment are to observe the characteristics of the flow and to compute the Reynold’s number. Using the Solteq Osbourne Reynold’s Demonstration (model FM 11) in this experiment, with different of water volume flowrate, the characteristics of the flow could be determined. The rock inside the stilling tank are to calm the inflow water so that there will not be any turbulence interfere with the experiment. The water inlet and outlet valve and dye injector utilized to generate the required flow. A dye injection system is installed on top of the header tank so that the pattern of the flow can be visualized. The characteristic of the flow is observed, there are laminar, transition and turbulent flow. The volume of water is fixed for certain values and the times are recorded. Based on the results, the ranges are calculated for laminar and turbulence flow. It was proved that the Reynolds number is dimensionless by using the units only and using the appropriate formula.
