DESCRIPTION -: The apparatus consists of rectangular transparent flow section connecting two tanks, the section can be easily removed or connected to two tanks. It converges for a small length & diverges for the remaining length. Flow can be controlled by a gate valve. Pizometers connected to flow section, make it possible to measure pressure heads & give visual observations of hydraulic gradient
Specifications :- 1) Tanks : 2 numbers of suitable size mounted on stand. 2) Flow channel of 90 cm length made out of perspex sheets. 3) Prizometer tubes equispaced at 5 cm 4) Measuring tank of 100 lit. cap. 5) Stop clock 6) Prizometer tubes equispaced at 5 cm 7) Measuring tank of 100 lit. cap. 8) Stop clock
RANGE OF EXPERIMENTS -: 1) Bernoulli?s theorem for the flow of real liquid can be verified. 2) Hydraulic grade line & the total energy line along the flow section can be plotted & can be studied.
SERVICE REQUIRED -: 1) Suitable water supply arrangement. 0.5 to 3 L.P.S. 2) Suitable drainage arrangement. 3) Floor Space : 3m x 1.5m
