Specification
The present set-up is designed to study the frictional losses in pipe line when fluid travels through them. It consists of two pipes of different diameters connected in parallel and fitted with control valves to operate one pipe at a time for experiment. Pressure tapings are provided on each pipeline to measure the pressure difference using pressurized differential pressure manometer. Centrifugal pump is used to re-circulate the water from sump tank to the pipeline and is return back to the sump tank. Flow diverter is provided to divert the flow either to measuring tank or sump tank. Experiments can be conducted on different flow rates and measured with the help of measuring tank with piezometer and stopwatch.
