1. Using diagrams and/or graphs‚ explain the following terms: a. Pressure Head pressure head [′presh·ər ‚hed] (fluid mechanics) Also known as head. The height of a column of fluid necessary to develop a specific pressure. The pressure of water at a given point in a pipe arising from the pressure in it. b. Total Discharge Head Total discharge head refers to the actual physical difference in height between the liquid level in the pit and the highest point of the discharge pipe or water level in

City University London Fluid Flow in a Duct of Varying Cross-Section Report: Khurshidanjum Pathan‚ Group A1a Abstract: The experiment is carried out to demonstrate the relation between pressure and fluid velocity in a duct of varying cross-section by using Bernoulli’s equation and continuity equation.(1) Bernoulli’s equation relates the pressure to the velocity for a fluid of constant density flowing in a Venturi tube. Static head‚ normalised head and percentage of errors were calculated using

determine the pump power. Overview A pump can serve to move liquid‚ as in a cross country pipeline‚ to lift liquid as from a well or to the top of a tall building; or to put fluid under pressure as in a hydraulic brake. In chemical plants and refineries pumps transfer or circulate oil and a great variety of fluids. General Start - Up Procedures Before conducting any experiment‚ it is necessary to do the following checking to avoid any misuse and malfunction of equipment. 1. Fill sump

Chapter 6 Momentum Analysis of Flow Systems Chapter 6 MOMENTUM ANALYSIS OF FLOW SYSTEMS Newton’s Laws and Conservation of Momentum 6-1C Newton’s first law states that “a body at rest remains at rest‚ and a body in motion remains in motion at the same velocity in a straight path when the net force acting on it is zero.” Therefore‚ a body tends to preserve its state or inertia. Newton’s second law states that “the acceleration of a body is proportional to the net force acting on it and is inversely

Fluid Report 2 In the derivation of Bernoulli’s equation‚ the assumption of the inviscid and incompressible flow is used. However in the real case‚ the viscosity cannot be neglect and the density of the flow is not always constant. Thus Bernoulli’s equation is not always correct. For the lab‚ it is reasonable to assume the flow is inviscid and incompressible. Firstly‚ the pitot was placed at the center of the flow. The skin friction (effect of viscosity) is inversely proportional to distance
