of the drag force on a circular cylinder. The devices used in this experiment were a fan‚ closed-channel venturi-shape pipe‚ a Pitot tube‚ circular cylinder with holes of different angles‚ U-tube manometers and a barometer. INTRODUCTION When a fluid is passing through an object‚ it produces a total force on the object. This force is a combined force of lift and drag forces (Anderson 2007). External flows past objects have been studied extensively because of their many practical applications. For

CBE 6333‚ R. Levicky 1 Potential Flow Part I. Theoretical Background. Potential Flow. Potential flow is frictionless‚ irrotational flow. Even though all real fluids are viscous to some degree‚ if the effects of viscosity are sufficiently small then the accompanying frictional effects may be negligible. Viscous effects become negligible‚ for example‚ for flows at high Reynolds number that are dominated by convective transport of momentum. Thus potential flow is often useful for analyzing external

Abstract This experiment of the friction loss along a smooth pipe shows that there are existence of laminar and transitional flows as stated in Graph 2.0 and Graph 2.1. It is proven that the higher velocity along the smooth bore pipe‚ the higher is the head loss of water. As shown in Table 3.0‚ when the Reynolds’ number increases‚ the value of pipe coefficient friction‚ f decreases along the decreasing stead laminar line. On top of that‚ there are energy loss from the water to the surface of the

Should you fail to attend either one you will be asked to complete some extra work. This will involve a detailed report and further questions. The simplest strategy is to do the lab.] Notes For the First Year Lecture Course: An Introduction to Fluid Mechanics School of Civil Engineering‚ University of Leeds. Homework: Example sheets: These will be given for each section of the course. Doing these will greatly improve your exam mark. They are course work but do not have credits toward the

A Coefficient of Friction Estimation Monitoring System for Autonomous Off-Road Vehicles Using Wide Area Augme- ntation Systems (WAAS) and a Magnetic Pulse Generator Shaft Encoder Abstract: The proposed work introduces a means of developing a friction measurement system that has many applications in vehicle safety systems such as Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS). Rapid weather and road conditions would change the behavior of the vehicle and a need of a system to

point in a fluid has the same magnitude in all directions. (Pressure is a scalar) Variation of Pressure with Depth It will come as no surprise to you that pressure in a fluid at rest does not change in the horizontal direction. This can be shown easily by considering a thin horizontal layer of fluid and doing a force balance in any horizontal direction. However‚ this is not the case in the vertical direction in a gravity field. Pressure in a fluid increases with depth because more fluid rests on
