PIPE NETWORK APPARATUS
OBJECTIVE
- Measurement of head loss versus discharge for different sizes of pipes.
- Characteristics of flow through interconnected pipes of different sizes.
- Characteristics of flow through parallel pipe networks.
- Characteristics of flow through series pipe networks.
INTRODUCTION:
It is found that the total friction resistance to fluid flow depends on the following:
- The area of the wetted surface
- The density of the fluid
- The surface toughness
- It is independent of the fluid pressure
- It increase with the square of the velocity
