1 FLUID MECHANICS AND MACHINERY LABORATORY STUDENTS REFERENCE MANUAL K.L.UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Compiled By P.SUNDARA KUMAR, M.Tech (PhD) Associate Professor 1

2 Preface In most of the engineering institutions, the laboratory course forms an integral form of the basic course in Fluid Mechanics at undergraduate level. The experiments to be performed in a laboratory should ideally be designed in such a way as to reinforce the understanding of the basic principles as well as help the students to visualize the various phenomenon encountered in different applications. The objective of this manual is to familiarize the students with practical skills, measurement techniques and interpretation of results. It is intended to make this manual self contained in all respects, so that it can be used as a laboratory manual. In all the experiments, the relevant theory and general guidelines for the procedure to be followed have been given. Tabular sheets for entering the observations have also been provided in each experiment while graph sheets have been included wherever necessary. It is suggested that the students should complete the computations, is the laboratory itself. However the students are advised to refer to the relevant text before interpreting the results and writing a permanent discussion. The questions provided at the end of each experiment will reinforce the students understanding of the subject and also help them to prepare for viva-voce exams. Author 2

3 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO STUDENTS The purpose of this laboratory is to reinforce and enhance your understanding of the fundamentals of Fluid mechanics and Hydraulic machines. The experiments here are designed to demonstrate the applications of the basic fluid mechanics principles and to provide a more intuitive and physical understanding of the theory. The main objective is to introduce a variety of classical experimental and diagnostic techniques, and the principles behind these techniques. This laboratory exercise also provides practice in making engineering judgments, estimates and assessing the reliability of your measurements, skills which are very important in all engineering disciplines.

S 1/2 n = V Where R = Hydraulic radius = S = Slope of hydraulic gradient = V = Velocity of flow = Therefore n = Principle: When a fluid flows through a pipe, there is a loss of energy (or pressure) in the fluid. This is because energy is dissipated to overcome the viscous (frictional) forces exerted by the walls of the pipe as well as the moving fluid layers itself. In addition to the energy lost due to frictional forces, the flow also loses pressure as it goes through fittings, such as valves, elbows, contractions and expansions. The pressure loss in pipe flows is commonly referred to as head loss. The frictional losses are referred to as major losses while losses through fittings etc, are called minor losses. Together they make up the total head losses. The Reynolds number Re is a dimensionless number that gives a measure of the ratio of inertial forces (Vr) to viscous forces (μ=l). It is a very useful quantity and aids in classifying fluid flows. For flow through a pipe experimental observations show that laminar flow occurs when Re < 2300 and turbulent flow occurs when Re > In the between 2300 and 4000, the flow is termed as transition flow where both laminar and turbulent flows are possible Observation Table: Sl.

Draw the characteristic curves of centrifugal pump at constant speed. Aim: To conduct performance test on a centrifugal pump at rated speed. Model: Fig. Component parts of Centrifugal Pump Theory: A centrifugal pump consists of an impeller rotating inside a casing.the impeller has a number of curved vanes. Due to the centrifugal head impressed by the rotation of the impeller, the water enter at the Centre and flows outwards to the periphery.then it is collected in a gradually increasing passage in the casing known as volute chamber which serves to convert a part of the velocity head into pressured head. 35

36 For a higher heads multi stage centrifugal pumps having two or more impellers in series will have to be used. This single stage centrifugal pump of size (50mm x 50mm) is coupled to 3 HP capacity Squirrel cage induction motor. The suction side is 50mm dia and delivery side is 50mm dia.an energy meter is provided to measure the input to the motor and collecting tank to measure the discharge. A pressure gauge and vacuum gauge are fitted in delivery and suction sides to measure the head of water. The pump must be full of water upto delivery valve before starting. For this reason it should not be allowed water to drain and hence a foot valve is provided. But after the long run the leather valve in the foot valve becomes useless and so the foot valve becomes leaky.in this case the pump should be primed by pouring water. Tools required: Stop watch, measuring scale and Energy meter etc. Procedure: 1. Check the pressure gauges. Make sure both of them show atmospheric pressure. 2. Observe the suction and delivery pipe diameters. Measure the dimensions of collecting tank. Measure the difference in elevation between the suction and delivery pressure tapings. 3.

43 Date: RECIPROCATING PUMP (PLUNGER PUMP) Experiment No.13 Learning Objectives: At the end of this experiment, the student will be able to: Know the operation of reciprocating pump. Draw the characteristic curves of reciprocating pump. Aim: To determine the efficiency of reciprocating pump at a constant speed. Model: Fig. Reciprocating pump with air vessel Principle: Reciprocating pump is a positive displacement pump, which causes a fluid to move by trapping a fixed amount of it then displacing that trapped volume into the discharge pipe. The fluid enters a pumping chamber via an inlet valve and is pushed out via a outlet valve by the action of the piston or diaphragm. They are either single acting; independent suction and discharge strokes or double acting; suction and discharge in both directions. Reciprocating 43

44 Reciprocating pumps are self priming and are suitable for very high heads at low flows. They deliver reliable discharge flows and is often used for metering duties because of constancy of flow rate. The flow rate is changed only by adjusting the rpm of the driver. These pumps deliver a highly pulsed flow. If a smooth flow is required then the discharge flow system has to include additional features such as accumulators. An automatic relief valve set at a safe pressure is used on the discharge side of all positive displacement pumps. Procedure 1. Check the pressure gauges. Make sure both of them show atmospheric pressure. 2. Observe the suction and delivery pipe diameters. 3. Measure the dimensions of collecting tank. 4. Measure the difference in elevation between the suction and delivery pressure tappings. 5. Open the delivery valve fully. Never close this valve below a critical level to reduce the flow rate.
