Flow in Pipe Circuits - Minor Losses Egr 365 Experiment 7b Performed by: Lee C. Groeneweg Professor: Dr. Fleischmann Outline I. Purpose – to experimentally determine minor losses for water flow through various fittings and to compare them to values previously published data. II. Procedure A. Derivations of necessary equations B. Measure time t for water to drain a distance h C. Find minor loss coefficients using equation: k = ½ (A0/At)2gt2/(h0 ½ -h ½ )2 + (A0/At)2 – 1.0 III.Results A. Pipe nipple with no fittings B. Pipe nipple with globe valve fitting IV. Conclusions A. Comparison with Published values obtained from handout of fittings B. Discuss any discrepancies
