Fluid Friction Measurement
It measured fluid flow rates by using venturi tube and the orifice
plate, and velocity of the fluid is calculated in terms of flow rate and
pipe diameter.
The equipment also includes a Pitot-static tube.
Friction factor of some valves and fittings such as tee, elbow, Y
Junction, gate and globe valves and friction losses in the pipe was
measured in this system.
By traversing the Pitot across the pipe diameter, students can find the velocity profile and flow coefficients.
They also find the relationship between the flow rate and pressure differential.
A computer program is written to calculate the Reynold number of fluid,
friction factor of pipe, the velocity of a fluid, frictional losses of
fluid, flow rate and K factor of valves and fittings.
It is one of the best methods to measure losses in pipes and fittings experimentally.
Pressure differential transmitters, venturi tube and orifice meter to
measure the flow rate, pressure drops on flow rate measurement devices
and pressure drops of some valves and fittings to be measured K
factors.
It also measured the temperature of the fluid by using J type Thermocouple.
An artificially roughened pipe allows students to study friction factor
at different Reynolds numbers, covering the interesting transitional
flow from laminar to turbulent.
The purpose of this article is to design a mechatronics system to
measure fluid friction losses in a specially designed fluid friction
apparatus.
