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