Experiment A2: Efflux Time for a Tank with Different Exit Pipes
1. In a tank-pipe connection or pipe-pipe connection, what is meant by entry length or entrance length? How
does it affect the flow pattern in the flow system? If at all, how does its value affected by the type of flow?
2. What is meant by efflux time? What factors affect its value, and in what ways does each factor affect its
value?
3. What is meant by vorticity? How does it occur in the flow system? How does its dimensions affect the flow
behavior of the system?
4. In fluid flow, what is boundary layer? How does it behave with the type of flow and how is it affected by the
presence of flow obstructions?
