PRINCIPLE
aximun} velocity on the axis, zero velocity at the tube wall and a parabolic velocity
distribution,
Increasing the flow rate substantially will alter the flow behavior dramatically,
as the inertia of the fluid (due to its density) becomes more signiftcant then the
viscous forces; this is then a turbulent flow.
ve Reynolds Number, Re, provides a useful way of characterizing the flow, it
is defined as:
Re= vd/v
Where
\_ is the kinematic viscosity; v is the mean velocity in terms of the volume
flow rate and d is the diameter of the pipe.
Ttis common practice to take a Reynolds number of 2,000 as the value which
divides laminar from turbulent flow. However, this does not take account of the
"ansition region and it may also be possible (with great care) to keep a flow laminar

PROCEDURE
1, Position the Reynold’s apparatus on a fixed, vibration-free surface (not the
hydraulic bench) and ensure that the base is horizontal, i.e, the test-section is
then] vertical. Attach the bell-mouth entry and carefully add marbles to the
head tank, placing them in by hand. The bell-mouth and marbles produce an
Inflow to the test-section with a low level of disturbances.
2. Connect the bench outflow connection to the head tank inlet pipe. Connect
the head tank overflow to the hydraulic bench volumetric tank. Attach the
outflow tube to the apparatus flow control valve and clamp the end of this
tube at a fixed position above the volumetric tank, allowing enough space for
the insertion of the measuring cylinder.
NOTE: Movement of the outflow tube end during a test will cause
Changes in volume fiow rate, which is driven by the height
difference between the head tank surface and the outflow point.
3. Start the pump. Slightly open the apparatus flow control vaive, then open the
bench valve and allow the systern to fill with water. Check particularly that
40the flow visualization pipe is properly filled. Once the water level in the head
tank reaches the overflow tube, adjust the bench control valve to produce a
low overflow rate.
4. Check that the dye control valve is closed. Add dye to the dye reservoir until
itis approximately two thirds full. Attach the hypodermic needle. Hold the dye
assembly aver a sink, and open the valve, to check for free flow of the dye.
Use the stylus provided to clean the needle, if a steady flow of dye cannot be
established. Then mount the dye injector on the head tank and lower the
injector until its outlet is just above the bell mouth and centered on its axis.
5. Adjust the bench valve and apparatus flow control valve to return the
oon rate to a slow trickle (if required), then allow the apparatus to stand
foi at least five minutes before proceeding. *
TAKING A SET OF RESULTS
1. With the apparatus flow control valve open slightly, and the bench valve
adjusted to produce a siow trickle through the overflow pipe, adjust the dye
cohtrol valve until a slow flow with clear dye indication is achieved. In order
to] observe the velocity profile in laminar flow, close the bench valve to
deposit a drop of dye at the bell mouth entry. When the outlet control valve
is lopened observe the dye as It deforms to take up a three-dimensional
parabolic profile.
Make sure the volume flow rate by timed collection, and measure the outflow
temperature (the temperature of the water gathered in the measuring
cylinder). Determine the kinematic viscosity form the data sheet provided,
and check the Reynold’s number corresponding to this flow type.
Intrease the flow rate by opening the apparatus flow control valve and repeat
the dye injections to visualize transitional flow and then, at the highest flow
ree turbulent flow, as characterized by continuous and very rapid mixing of
the dye. As the test section fiow rate is reduced, adjust the bench valve to
kebp the overflow rate at a low level. Note that at intermediate flows it Is
Possible to have a laminar characteristic in the upper part of the test-section,
which develops into transitional flow lower down. This upper section
behavior is described as an “inlet length flow”, which means that the
boundary layer has not yet extended across the pipe radius.
