Hydrostatic Pressure Apparatus
The Hydrostatic Pressure accessory has been designed to determine
the static thrust exerted by a fluid on a submerged surface and
enables comparison of the measured magnitude and position of this
force with simple theory.
Determination of the center of pressures with an angle of 90°,
partially submerged.
Determination of the resultant force with an angle of 90°, partially
submerged.
Determination of the center of pressures, angle <> 90° partially
submerged.
Balance of momentum.
Particle Drag Coefficients
The Viscosity and Particle Drag apparatus is a simple falling-sphere
viscometer. The self-standing unit holds two glass tubes filled with
the test fluids, for comparisons and to minimize draining and refilling
of the fluids after experimentation. The back plate has a low-voltage
backlight so students can easily see the test spheres through the
fluid.
Observation of laminar, transition and turbulent flows.
Association of laminar, transition and turbulent flows with their
corresponding Reynolds number.
Observation of the parabolic velocity profile.
