This equipment
provides laminar,
transitional, and
turbulent
flow as predicted by
Osborne Reynolds.
It is to be used with
HB100 Hydraulics
Bench (separately
supplied)
HB 100 Hydraulic Bench
It consists of a removable clear acrylic cylinder with an
adjustable overflow pipe.
Water is admitted at the bottom of the tank through a diffuser
and stilling materials, and is discharged via a bell mouth
transparent vertical test pipe with a flow control valve.
Flow rate is measured by a measuring cup.
A dye injection system is installed on top of the acrylic cylinder
tank and flow patterns in the pipe can be observed against a
white background plate.
The apparatus has a hose with a quick male coupling for
connection to the Hydraulics Bench.
1.1 Technical Data
1.1.1 Cylindrical diameter : 200 mm.
1.1.2 Test pipe inside diameter : 14 mm cycle or
13 mm grass o as required.
1.1.3 Length of test pipe : 720 mm.
1.1.4 Dye reservoir : 0.5 l.
1.1.5 Measuring cup : 21
1.2 Optional
1.2.1 HB 024-020 Water heating unit.
Water viscosity is controlled by its temperature.
The heating unit consists of:
• Insulated heating tank with 4500 W heater.
• Temperature control unit (45°C maximum).
• Power supply: 220 V. 1Ph., 50 Hz or as required.
2.1 Laminar Flow (Fig. 2-1)
When the flow is very slow the molecules of the fluid will
move in layers parallel to the pipe wall in the direction of
the flow.
The molecules at the center of the pipe move faster than
the molecules near the wall.
This state of flow is called Laminar Flow
