Friction in Pipes

These procedure steps will be followed on the simulator

  1. Open Friction in Pipes experiment, a window will appear as shown.
  2. Select the required diameter of pipe, then click NEXT button.
  3. Click on the selected pipe inlet valve to allow the flow through it.
  4. Click on main inlet valve to allow the flow through it and then click on pipe valve to allow water flow to test for air bubbles.
  5. Click on knot to change from isolated position to air-vent position and again click to change it to read position.
  6. Now click on tank outlet valve to open and allow flow, note the manometer reading.
  7. Here click on tank outlet valve to close and then calculate Head Loss value.
  8. Calculate the discharge, velocity and analytical friction factor with the help the observation given here.
  9. Repeat the same procedure for other trials.
