such a way that a sufficient number the lecture time and introducing on
of accurate measurements are the safety procedures and
taken in order to produce requirements for each experiment
meaningful results. and then starting the standard
procedure of each experiment for
conducting the required test with
adequate repeating for discovering
the exact result of each
experiment.

Perform the measurement of
volumetric flowrate using the
equipment competently.
Obtain a value for the average flow
velocity across a section of pipe.
In two of the experiment it was yes Yes (very essentially) No
very important to identify the
flowrate of the fluid which have
been done by available devices in
the lab and by hands of LJMU lab
staffs, so it is very competently
measuring.
In some of the experiments, it was Yes No yes
very important to measure the
 average velocity of the fluid inside
the pipe and the other one
experiment it was not important
because it could be identify by an
equation after measure the
flowrate.

Measure the pressure difference Manometers are un-complex yes Yes No

arrangement used.
apparatus which used the columns
of liquid to measure the pressure
difference between two points. In
all cases, a tube is attached to a
point where the pressure
difference is to be measured and
its other end left open to the
atmosphere.
