Features: 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. 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.
