Question

EXPERIMENT ENERGY LOSSES IN PIPES AND FITTING ,

The objectives of this experiment are:

1. to determine the loss of head due to friction in incompressible flow in a horizontal pipe,

2. to determine the friction factor of a pipe,

3. to determine the loss of head in sudden expansion and sudden contraction of pipes,

4. to determine the loss coefficients in sudden expansion and sudden contraction pipes, and

5. to compare the losses of energy (head losses) in different configuration of pipes.
