Theory
‘Wie stigsid contsiand in cylindrical vena is given he roaton irdeto rotation
‘ofthe vessel about vertical aus o de to tangential velocity of wate, surface of water no
longer remains horizontal buts depresses at the center and rts near the walls of the
vessel. A rotating mass of uid i called voex and motion of rotating mass of uid is
‘called vonex motion. Vries are of two types vz. forced vortex and fice vortex. When
‘cylinder a cation then the vortex i called forced vores. water eter stationary
Description of the Apperatan:
“The apparatus consists of « Perspex cylinder with dai at conte of bottom. The eylinder
a fixed over rotating platform which can be rotated with the help of « B.C. motor at
Aiferent speeds. A tangential water supply pipe is provided with flow contol valve. The
‘ole unit is mound over the um tank Water supplied by a cenrfues! pump.
A. Forced Vortex
1. Clone the dein valve ofthe epfinical vessel Fil up some water (ay 45
cm height from hotiom) i the vessel
2 Switch “ON” the supply and slowly increase the motor speed. Do not start
3. Keep motor speed constant and wait il the vortex formed in the cylinder
‘vores and completes the observation table
4. With the surface speed attachment ofthe tachometer, measure the outside
‘tational spec of vessel and note down nthe observation abe
1. Open the bypass valve and sat the pump
2 Sowly clone the water bypans valve & drain valve ofthe cylinder. Water
