Osborne Reynolds Demonstration .
The Osborne Reynolds' Demonstration
operates in a vertical mode. A header tank containing stilling media
provides a constant head of water through a bellmouth entry to the flow
visualisation pipe. Flow through this pipe is regulated using a control
valve at the discharge end.
The
flow rate of water through the pipe can be measured utilizing the
volumetric tank (or measuring cylinder) of the Hydraulics Bench.
Velocity of the water can therefore be determined to allow calculation
of Reynolds' number.
The
equipment uses a similar dye injection technique to that of Reynolds'
original apparatus to enable observation of flow conditions.
