Description
Determining the critical Reynolds numbers, measurements of the pressure loss in laminar flow, measurement of the pressure loss in turbulent flow, determining the critical Reynolds number, determining the pipe friction factor and comparing the actual pipe friction factor with the theoretical friction factor
Experimentation/Learning Objectives
To determine the Reynolds number and hence the type of flow either laminar or turbulent.
