REYNOLD’S APPARATUS

The Set-up is designed to verify Reynold’s Apparatus experimentally.The Apparatus consists of a glass tube with one end having bell mouth entrance connected to a water tank.At the other end of the glass tube a cock is provided to vary the rate of flow. Flow rate of water can be measured with the help of Measuring Cylinder and Stop Watch, supplied with the set-up.A capillary tube is introduced centrally in the bell mouth.To this tube dye is fed from a small container, placed at the top of Constant head Tank. through polythene tubing. Experiments * To study different types of flow. * To determine the Reynold’s Number and hence the type of flow either laminar or turbulent
