• This Pipe Friction Apparatus allows students to study the change in the laws of resistance for laminar to turbulent flow and find the critical Reynolds number.
• During flow through pipes, pressure losses occur due to internal friction and friction between the fluid and the wall.
• The friction factor is determined with the aid of the Reynolds number, which describes the ratio of inertia forces to friction forces.
• Direct measurement of the pipe friction in laminar or turbulent flow.
• Transparent tank with overflow ensures constant water inlet pressure in the pipe section for experiments with laminar flow.
• For experiments with turbulent flow rate adjustment via valves.
• Shows the critical Reynolds Number and verifies Poiseuille’s Equation for laminar flow
• Twin tube manometers for measurements in laminar flow.
• Twin tube manometer for measurements in turbulent flow.
