Experiment 2: Analysis of Free Jet Flow
Objective:
The purpose of this experiment is to apply Bernoulli’s principle as well as mass conservation to measure free jet flow through an orifice. Using the principles we will determine the coefficient of contraction, coefficient of velocity, and coefficient of discharge of the orifice. Bernoulli’s principle will also be applied to measure time to empty a tank.
Experiment 4:
Objective:
The purpose of this experiment is to make use of the venturi meter to verify Bernoulli’s theorem. This will be done by obtaining the static head for the different flow rates and using that to find the kinetic head which then will allow us to obtain the total energy through the venture pipe
Experiment 5:
Objective:
The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate the concept of major losses when fluids flow through pipes. The experiment will show how different pipes that vary in size and roughness can affect energy loss in pipes. Smooth and rough pipes will be used to understand how the texture can affect frictional loss in pipes.
Experiment 7:
Objective:
The purpose of this experiment is to analyze the operating characteristics of a Pelton turbine. In the experiment the turbine will be subjected to different conditions and this would vary the efficiency and power of the turbine at different speeds. Turbines are devices that are for clean energy or any general power generating source and provide valuable information to be understood.
