This setup includes two parallel pipes, each with a different diameter. Pressure tapping points are installed on both pipes, allowing a differential manometer to measure pressure losses. Each pipe is equipped with a control valve, making it possible to experiment with one pipe at a time. The system is a self-contained water recirculating unit that includes a sump tank, a centrifugal pump, and other necessary components. Flow control and bypass valves are installed in the water pipes to adjust the flow rate for different experiments. The water flow rate is measured using a measuring tank and a stopwatch.
Experimental Objectives
Determine the losses caused by friction in pipes.
Calculate the friction factor using the Darcy–Weisbach equation.
