.

The apparatus is used:

• To visualize different flow conditions i.e.
  • Laminar flow,
  • Transition flow,
  • Turbulent flow
• To find out the Reynolds number

The system is closed circuit. The apparatus consists of:

• A Centrifugal Monoblock Pump 1/2 HP Motor (ISI Kirlosker Make)
• S.S. Sump Tank 50 Ltr. to collect the water.
• S.S. Measuring Tank 30 Ltr fitted with piezometer tube to measure the discharge.
• Damper is used to collect the water in S.S. MEASURING TANK for certain time.
• Pipe & ISI mark Control Valve and regulating valves are used to circulate water.
• Bye pass line is also used to regulate the discharge.
• This apparatus consists of a Perspex tube of internal dia 20mm dia x 70cm long.

A needle and color dye injector tank is used to visualize the flow & tanks of size 30 x 30 x 50 cm.

Powder coated paint the tanks are well hence increase the life of tank.

Experimental capability:

• To visualize different flow conditions.
• To obtain the critical velocity
