Hydraulics: Pamantasan NG Lungsod NG Valenzuela

This document summarizes an experiment conducted using a digital hydraulic bench to identify different types of fluid flow. Four trials were run at different flow rates and the volume, velocity, and Reynolds number were calculated for each. Three trials exhibited laminar flow as evidenced by their Reynolds numbers, while the fourth was in a transitional flow regime. While the goal was to produce laminar and turbulent flows, unexpected factors like human error or equipment issues led to transitional flow in one trial instead of turbulent. The results still provided a good demonstration of how to classify flow types using Reynolds number calculations.

EXPERIMENT #1: TYPES OF FLOW

OBJECTIVES:

 IDENTIFYING THE TYPE OF FLOW IN EVERY TIME USING DIGITAL


HYDRAULIC BENCH
 COMPARING THE RESULT EXPERIMENTALLY AND THEORETICALLY
MATERIALS:

 DIGITAL HYDRAULIC BENCH


 CALIPER
 TIMER
 GRADUATED CYLINDER
PROCEDURE:
1. MEASURE THE PIPE USED IN THE DIGITAL HYDRAULIC BENCH
2. TURN THE VALVE TO LET THE FLUID FLOW IN THE PIPE. MAKE SURE
THAT THE GRADUATED CYLINDER CATCHES THE FLUIDS THAT COMES
OUT OF THE MACHINE.
3. SET THE DESIRED CHARACTERISTIC OF FLOW (LAMINAR, TRANSITION
OR TURBULENT). IT IS ALSO UP TO YOU WHEN TO STOP BUT MAKE SURE
TO RECORD EACH DATA NEEDED.
4. RECORD THE VOLUME THAT COMES OUT OF THE MACHINE USING THE
GRADUATED CYLINDER. THEN COMPUTE FOR ITS DISCHARGE.
5. DO THIS FOUR TIMES, MAKE SURE THAT EACH CHARACTERISTICS ARE
PRESENT IN THE EXPERIMENT.
6. USING THE DISCHARGE, GET THE VELOCITY THEN SOLVE FOR
REYNOLD’S NUMBER TO KNOW IF THE SAMPLE MATCH THE INITIAL
ASSUMPTION.

RESULT:

TIME (S) TRIAL VOLUME(ML) VOLUME(𝑴𝟑 ) ∅(MM)


15 1 205 2.05X10−4 12
15 2 80.5 8.05X10−5 12
5 3 150 1.5X10−4 12
5 4 160 1.6X10−4 12
𝝂 = 1.0533X10−6
SOLVING VELOCITY: SOLVING FOR REYNOLDS NUMBER
𝑽𝑫
Q = AV Re = 𝝂

𝑉1= 0.121 m/s Re = 1378.52; LAMINAR

𝑉2= 0.047 m/s Re = 535.46; LAMINAR

𝑉3= 0.027 m/s Re = 307.60; LAMINAR

𝑉4= 0.283 m/s Re = 3224.15; TRANSITION

CONCLUSION:
ARRIVING AT THE CONCLUSION AFTER WE CONDUCT THE TEST, THREE
WERE CLASSIFY AS LAMINAR AND ONE IS A TRANSITION THROUGH THE
METHODS OF COMPUTATIONS BY USING REYNOLD’S NUMBER. THE
EXPERIMENT WERE SET FOR THE FIRST TWO TO BE LAMINAR AND THE THIRD
TO BE TURBULENT BUT IN AN UNEXPECTED HAPPENED WE WERE NOT ABLE
TO MAKE THE THIRD TEST AS TURBULENT HENCE THERE ARE SOME FACTORS
THAT MAKES THE EXPERIMENT SUCCESSFUL SUCH AS THE HUMAN ERROR,
EQUIPMENT FAULT AND ETC. BUT THIS IS JUST AN EXPERIMENT A LOT OF
FACTORS MAY HAPPEN SO IT IS A SATISFYING RESULTS THAT CAN CLOSELY
MATCH THE RESULTS FOR THE SET PROPERTIES.
