Description and Specification for Lab Tenders
Osborne Reynolds Apparatus.
It consists of a removable clear acrylic cylinder with an adjustable
overflow pipe. Water is admitted at the bottom of the tank through a
diffuser and stilling materials, and is discharged via a bell mouth
transparent vertical test pipe with a flow control valve at the end.
Flow rate is measured by a measuring cup. A dye injection system is
installed on top of the acrylic cylinder tank and flow patterns in the
pipe can be observed against a white background plate.
Typical Experiments:
Visualization of laminar, transition and turbulent flow
Determination of the critical Reynolds number.
