apparatus. Reynolds number for the tests at ∆P=5psi is 5.3913×10-5 and for ∆P= 30 psi is 1.1147×10-4. Laminar flow conditions exist so that Darcy’s equation is applicable. 2.0 Introduction When fluid flows through a medium‚ the flow is affected by the property of the medium that allows the flow of the fluid through it. The property of the medium is called permeability. Permeability

Mechanical devices are usually used to supply energy or driving force in order to make a fluid flow from one point to another .There are different kinds of mechanical devices used to transport fluids‚ namely‚ pumps‚ fans‚ blowers and compressors. Though liquids particularly can be transported by operators carrying buckets‚ the usual mode of transport of fluids is through pipelines with pumps‚ compressors‚ fans and blowers. Generally‚ the word “pump” designates a machine or device for moving an incompressible

Introduction: In any pipe system there is going to be a loss of energy due to the effect of viscosity from a fluid acting upon the surface of the pipe‚ this is called Friction Loss. This type of lost depends on the shear stress due to the walls of the pipe and the fluid. It also depends in weather the fluid is laminar or turbulent. A major difference between these two flows is that due to a viscous layer created in turbulent flow the roughness of the pipe can be taken in account while in laminar

TECQUIPMENT H10 FLOW-MEASURING APPARATUS 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Flow-Measuring Apparatus is designed to accustom students to typical methods of measuring the discharge of an essentially incompressible fluid‚ whilst at the same time giving applications of the Steady-Flow Energy Equation (Bernoulli’s Equation). The discharge is determined using a venturi meter‚ an orifice plate meter and a rotameter. Head losses associated with each meter are determined and compared as well as those arising in a

Figure 2 Ideal Power versus Head Pressure (H) · Sample Calculations · Raw Data Discussion of Experiment A centrifugal pump contains an impeller or set of vanes encased in housing. Energy is added to the fluid in the form of velocity and pressure as a result of the impeller turning. An engineer must determine the range of flow rates required when using a centrifugal pump. The centrifugal pump chosen for an application must have a head versus flow rate

INTRODUCTION The measurement of fluid flow is very important in our daily life from measurements of blood-flow rates in human artery to the measurement of liquid oxygen in a rocket. In this experiment‚ students are to adapt to various ways to measure the flow of essentially incompressible fluids by using the flow measuring apparatus. Students will also be able to understand the application of Bernoulli’s equation in this experiment. The flow is measured by using a venture meter‚ an orifice meter

MEHB221 Fluids Mechanics Lab 2014 Experiment No. 5 HEAD LOSS DUE TO PIPE FRICTION Objective To verify that Darcy-Weisbach equation can be used to predict the head loss due to friction with flow of water through a smooth bore pipe. Apparatus Fluid Friction Apparatus‚ FM100. Hydraulic Bench‚ FM110. Summary of theory For water flowing through a circular pipe‚ the head loss due to the friction can be calculated using Darcy-Weisbach equation. h = 4fLu2 2gd Or h = λLu2 2gd Where L = length of pipe

Biology Chapter 29 “Do You Understand” Questions Chapter 29.1: 1) The roles of the blood plasma and the interstitial fluid in serving the needs of the body are to exchange materials and nutrients with the cells it surrounds. These two extracellular fluids interrelate because the plasma is 20% of all extracellular fluid and the interstitial fluid is the remaining 80%. 2) A) Epithelial tissues are sheets of densely packed‚ interconnected epithelial cells that cover inner and outer
