    This lab report describes an experiment to measure head loss in a pipe and study the Reynolds number and behavior of fluid flow. The experiment uses a clear Perspex tube to observe dye flow under varying discharge rates. Flow is recorded at the laminar, transition, and turbulent stages as identified by the dye's behavior. Head loss and Reynolds number are calculated for each recorded flow rate. The results are analyzed to understand the relationship between flow rate, Reynolds number, and flow behavior.

    “To measure Head Loss in a pipe of uniform Diameter and to study Reynold number and
    behavior of flow”

    Introduction:

    Depending upon the relative magnitudes of viscous and inertial force, flow can occur in two different
    manner viz. laminar flow and turbulent flow. In laminar flow viscous effect are more predominant than
    the inertial effects. But when shear and normal stress are added with the increase in velocity of flow a
    dimensionless parameter is being utilizes which is a measure of the relative importance of inertial force
    and viscous force prevailing in the flow of fluid, which is known as Reynolds number. It is equal to the
    ratio of inertial force to the viscous force per unit volume. This means that a large value of Reynolds
    number signifies less viscous effects and vice versa. For determine the different flow conditions,
    equipment first used by Professor Osborne Reynolds after whose name Reynolds number exists.
    Objective:

    To study the

     Reynold Number
     Behaviour of flow

    Proceedure:

    1. Note down the relevant dimensions as diameter of Perspex tube, area of collecting tank, room
    temperature etc.
    2. By maintaining suitable amount of steady flow in the Perspex tube, open inlet of the dye tank so
    that the dye stream moves as a straight line in the tube.
    3. The discharge flowing in the Perspex tube is recorded.
    4. This procedure is repeated for other values of discharge.
    5. By increasing the velocity of flow in the Perspex tube, again open the inlet of the dye tank so that
    the dye stream begins to break up in the tube, which shows the fluid is no more in the laminar
    conditions. Hence transition stage occurs.
    6. This discharge flowing in the Perspex tube is recorded.
    7. This procedure is repeated for other values of discharge.
    8. On further increase in the velocity of flow in the Perspex tube, again open the inlet of dye tank
    so that the dye mixes completely in the tube which shows fluid is no more in the transition stage.
    Hence turbulent flow occurs in the tube.
    9. The discharge flowing in the Perspex tube is recorded. Step 10:- this procedure is repeated for
    other values of discharge

    Discussion:

    Weights,heights and calculated theoretical and Exprimental Hydrstatic forces.Dimension of the


    torus used to calculate theoretical and Exprimental force of pressure gradient exterted on the
    torus.

    Conclusion:

    The presence of buoyancy comes from the air outsideof the torus. Because the density of air is
    a mere fraction of that of the material of the torus and the fluid it contains,it can be neglected
    in the hydrostatic force calculations. The weight of the torus can also be neglected. Because
    thecenter of the curvature of the torus is at the location of the pivot, it is negated. The weight
    of the torus was notincluded in the calculations because the device was calibrated with ballast
    water so as to begin the experiment witha net moment of zero about the pivot. It was noted
    that a large discrepancy between the theoretical andexperimental values occurred.
