Osborne Reynolds Demonstration.
Osborne Reynolds Demonstration
The equipment operates in a vertical mode. A header tank containing
stilling media provides a constant head of water through a bellmouth
entry to the flow visualisation pipe. Flow through this pipe is
regulated using a control valve at the discharge end. The flow rate of
water through the pipe can be measured using the volumetric tank (or
measuring cylinder) of the Hydraulics Bench. Velocity of the water can
therefore be determined to allow calculation of Reynolds’ number.
Experimental Capabilities:
Reproducing the classic experiments conducted by Professor Osborne Reynolds concerning fluid flow condition.
Observing the laminar, transitional, turbulent flow and velocity profile.
