IV. PROCEDURE

(a) Locate the torroid on the dowel pins and fasten to the balance arm by the central screw. (b) Measure the dimensions a, b, and d, and the distance L from the knife – edge axis to the balance pan axis. (c) Position the perspex tank on work surface and locate the balance arm on the knife edges. (d) Attach a length of hose to the drain cock and direct the other end of hose to the sink. Attach a length of hose to tap V3 and place the free end in the triangular aperture on the top of the perspex tank. Level the tank, using the adjustable feet in conjunction with the spirit level. (e) Adjust the counter - balance weigh until the balance arm is horizontal. This is indicated on a gate adjacent to the balance arm. (f)Fill water to the perspex tank until the water is level with the bottom edge of the torroid. (g) Place a mass on the balance pan and fill water to the tank until the balance arm is horizontal. Note the water level on the scale. Fine adjustment of the water level may be achieved by over – filling and slowly draining, using the drain cock. (h) Repeat the procedure under section (g) for different masses : 5 masses for water levels y > d (complete immersion) and 5 masses for y < d (partial immersion) (i) Repeat readings for reducing masses on the balance pan. All record data can be arranged as shown in table 1 and 2 Table 1.

IV. PROCEDURE Ensure that the hydraulic bench is located on a level floor, as the accuracy of the results will be affected if the bench top is not level. Set up the equipment as shown in the diagram. Set Vernier Height Gauge to a datum reading, by placing the point on the crest of the weir. Take extreme care not to damage the weir plate with the point gauge.

Position the gauge about half way between the notch plate and stilling baffle. Admit water to channel, adjust flow control valve to obtain heads, H, increasing in step of about 1cm. For each flow rate, stabilize conditions, measure and record H. Take reading of volume and time using the volumetric tank to determine the flow rate.

Regulate the flow rate over the V - notch by adjusting the control valve of pump. For each flow rate, stabilize conditions, measure (Zb) to determine the head above notch bottom (H), and take reading of volume (V) and time (T) to determine the flow rate. In order to increase the degree of accurate of flow rate measurement, it should be taken at least three sets of reading of volume and time. Replace triangular weir by rectangular weir and repeat procedure above for rectangular weir.

All record data can be arranged as shown in Table I.

III. SUMMARY OF THEORY The volume flow rate at the orifice plate and venturi nozzle in the pipe is determined by

formula as follows (1)

Where: Q: volumetric flow rate. C: discharge coefficient. Δp: pressure difference from inlet to throat. The manometer containing liquid of density ρ1 is used to indicate Δp, the pressure difference may be expressed in terms of the manometric head differential Δh by: Δp = (ρ1 –ρ)gΔh (2) ρ: flow density. ρ = 1.226 kg/m+3 ρ1: water density ρ1 = 1000kg/m3

β : diameter ratio = d/D. ε: expandability factor. The expandability factory is also detailed in the code and allows for the effects of density change in gas flows where a high pressure reduction occurs. For liquid flows and gas flows with moderate variation in pressure at the meter, ε 1.00. The discharge coefficients of the orifice plate and the venturi nozzle can be determined by empirical formula

For the orifice plate. Where: Re: Reynolds number (4)

U: upstream pipe velocity. Q: discharge in pipe D: diameter of pipe μ: dynamic viscosity (μ=1.002x10-3 Pa.s at 20o C)

When determining Q from Δp, it is necessary to estimate a value C initially as Re cannot be calculated until Q is known. From an initial estimate of C (example C = 1), Q can be

calculated and thus Re found. The value of C can then be corrected and new values of Q and Re are recalculated. For the Venturi nozzle. (5)

IV. PROCEDURE

Check water level in the tank, it should be at the level of half of tank. Open the valve at the outlet of fan and turn on the motor. Take the readings of 4 manometer level. In order to decrease or increase the volume flow rate, the valve is closed or opened partly. Repeat for three valve settings and write the readings of manometer level into the Table 1

APPENDIX

HYDRAULIC BENCH I. INTRODUCTION Hydraulic bench is a system providing the source of water to the experiments. The function of hydraulic bench include:

− To supply the source of water with various discharges − To determine the discharges supplied.

II. EQUIPMENT SET – UP

A self – priming centrifugal pump (9), draws water from sump tank (6), and delivers the water into a vertical transparent pipe (8). A panel mounted control valve(2), is used to regulate the flow in the pipe which terminate in a quick release pipe connector (11), situated in the bed of channel (13). The male connector(11) allows for rapid substitution of accessories, which are supplied with a flexible supply tube terminating in a mating connector. Special purpose termination may be connected to the pump supply by unscrewing connector (11). No hand tools are required for either of these operations. A drain valve (5) is incorporated in the wall of the sump to facilitate emptying. The mounded bench top incorporates an open channel, (13) with side channels (10), to support the accessory on test. In addition to the inlet connector (11), the channel incorporates a pair of wall slots (12) and a weir carrier (14), for use with accessory F1-13. Water discharging from the accessory on test is collected in a volumetric measuring tank (16). This tank is stepped to accommodate low or high flow rates and incorporates a stilling baffle (15), to reduce turbulence. A remote sight tube and scale (1) is connected to a tapping (17), in the base of the volumetric tank and gives an instantaneous indication of water level. A dump valve, (18) in the base of the volumetric tank is operated by a remote actuator (4) lifting the actuator opens the dump valve allowing the entrained water to return to the sump (6), for recycling. When lifted, a twist of 900 at the actuator will retain the dump valve in the open position. An overflow, (19) adjacent to the sump (6) returns water to the sump in the event of incorrect use. A measuring cylinder (7) is provided for measurement of very small flow rates. The cylinder is stored in the compartment housing the pump. Electrical supply to the pump motor(9) is via a starter (3).
