Flow of Compressible Fluids

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14036

This equipment is a versatile experimental unit used to investigate air flow characteristics, head losses through pipes and fittings, and the performance of various flow measuring nozzles. The system draws air from the environment and uses a variable-speed fan to achieve a wide range of air velocities.

1. Core Components and Design

The design focuses on minimizing turbulence and providing precise flow control and measurement.

  • Air Circulation: A Radial fan is used to draw air from the environment.
    • Speed Control: The fan has infinitely variable speed control, allowing a wide range of flow conditions to be tested.
    • Specifications: Max speed 31000 min-1, max volumetric flow rate 226 m3/h, max head 318 mbar, max power consumption 1.8 kW.
  • Measuring Section: Air is accelerated at the intake using a measuring nozzle before flowing through interchangeable measuring objects.
    • Flow Optimization: Placing the fan on the downstream side (drawing in the air) and arranging the measuring objects on the intake side minimizes turbulence when the air enters the test sections.

2. Interchangeable Measuring Objects (Experiments)

The setup allows for a wide range of experiments on fluid resistance and measurement.

  • Friction and Minor Losses:
    • Pipe sections: 1 meter long, with diameters of 16, 24, and 34 mm.
    • Fitting: 90 degree pipe elbow.
  • Flow Measurement/Nozzles:
    • Two nozzles: Inner diameter 12 to 34 mm.
      • One with sudden enlargement.
      • One with gradual enlargement (de Laval nozzle).
    • Orifice: With interchangeable orifice disks of diameters 12, 19, 25, and 32 mm.
  • Control/Regulation Loss: Throttle valve (34 mm diameter).

3. Measurement Ranges

The system includes multiple gauges to accurately measure velocity and pressure across different ranges.

 Speed: 0 to 99999 min-1

Pressure:

  • 1 x 0 to 25 mbar (for
  • 1 x 0 to 600 mbar.
  • 1 x 0 to 1000 mbar (

 Velocity: 0 to 65 m/s.

4. Purpose

The primary objective is the characterization of air flow phenomena.

  1. Friction Factors: Determine the friction factor and head loss in various pipe diameters.
  2. Loss Coefficients: Determine the loss coefficients (K-factors) for fittings like the $90^\circ$ elbow and various flow controls.
  3. Flow Meter Calibration: Calibrate and compare the performance and pressure drop characteristics of the various nozzles and the orifice meter.
