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