Fluid Dynamics Study Bench

A fluid flowing in a pipe is subject to friction forces causing energy loss and therefore total pressure drop. This varies depending on obstacles encountered by the fluid. Learning Objectives: Visualisation of flow in pipes and deprimogenic devices. Learn about Fluid Dynamics Study Bench manufacturers for optimal educational outcomes.. Demonstration of laminar and turbulent flow regimes as a function of flow rate and pressure. Study of major pressure losses in: pipes of different diameters; smooth and rough pipes; ascending, descending, and inclined pipes. Learn about Fluid Dynamics Study Bench suppliers for optimal educational outcomes.. Study of minor pressure losses in: elbows of different radii; sudden pipe enlargements and reductions; different valves. Flow measurement using deprimogenic devices (Venturi, orifice plate). Learn about Flow Visualization Fluid Dynamics Study Bench for optimal educational outcomes.. Determination of valve Kv coefficients.

Major (distributed) losses due to pipe wall friction and minor (localised) losses caused by network singularities (elbows, valves, etc. ) are distinguished.
