Title of Experiment: Pressure distribution on an aerofoil Aim: The aim of this experiment is to examine the pressure distribution on an aerofoil and its variation with incidence. Introduction: An aerofoil is the two-dimensional cross section of a wing‚ tail or helicopter rotor blade. The lift and pitching moment on an aerofoil is determined by the pressure distribution on it. The pressure distribution changes with the angle of incidence. Understanding the behaviour of aerofoils requires some

FLUID FLOW UNIT Keywords: Pressure loss‚ straight pipe‚ pipe bend‚ orifice meter‚ venturi meter. 3.1.1. Object The object of this experiment is to investigate the variations in fluid pressure for flow in straight pipes‚ through pipe bends‚ fittings‚ orifice and venturi meters. 3.1.2. Theory When a fluid flows along a pipe‚ friction between the fluid and the pipe wall causes a loss of energy. This energy loss shows itself as a progressive fall in pressure along the pipe and varies with
