Explanatory diagram of flow measuring apparatus PROCEDURE The flow measuring apparatus is connected to the hydraulic bench water supply and the control valve is adjusted until the rotameter is about at mid-position in its calibrated tapered tube. Air is removed from the manometric tube by flexing it. The pressure within the manometer reservoir is now varied and the flow rate decreased until, with no flow, the manometric height in all tube is about 280mm.the apparatus can be levelled and the level checked by comparing the manometric heights when no water flows. A set of experimental readings can now be obtained. Take the data and fill the table 1 at various speeds by filling the water tank with 15 kg water at each run. Do not rise above 0.37 kg/s mass flow rate. CALCULATIONS 1. Calculate the mass flow rates and head losses for each element and fill in table 2. 2. Plot calibration curves of elements on the same graph.(AH meter vs inmeter) 3. Plot the mass flow rate of element, mm, versus mass flow rate, me, which is found from weight tank on the same graph and assuming the least square method fit an equation for each plot. 4. Calculate the head loss AH, and the inlet kinetic head,KE, of each section then fill the table 3. 5. Plot the curves ΔΗ,c/KE, vs KEA ДНcp/KEc VS KEC AHHI/KE VS KEH
VS On the same graph, AHEF/KER KER AHGH/KEC vs KEG 6. Estimate the appropriate error in the Venturi-meter, orifice meter and rotameter which can be calculated as them the $100 e(%) mt (Use equations in calculation 3) 7. Discuss the results and write conclusion. HINTS the manometric level indicates the hydrostatic heads.CP/pg) -For Venturi meter, AHAB is negligible -For orifice meter, V V K?(hg - hp) 2g 2g Where K=0.601 for this apparatus (K: discharge coefficient) -For rotameter, Use calibration curve -If the diameter of pipe increases two times, mean velocity is one quarter of that in the upstream section and kinetic head is 1/16 of that in the upstream section or vice versa. e.g. VŽ KE2 = 29 REFERENCES 1.
