The Set-up consists of two parallel pipes, each with a different diameter. Each pipe has pressure tapings installed on it so that a differential manometer can be used to detect pressure losses. Each pipe has a control valve installed on it, making it possible to conduct experiments on just one pipe at once. The current setup is an independent water recirculating device with a sump tank, a centrifugal pump, and other features. In the water pipe, flow control and bypass valves are installed to allow for the experiment's various flow rates. A measuring tank and stopwatch are used to determine the water flow rate.
