DESCRIPTION: PRIMING: The operation of filling water in the suction pipe casing and a portion delivery pipe for the removal of air before starting is called priming. After priming the impeller is rotated by a prime mover. The rotating vane gives a centrifugal head to the pump. When the pump attains a constant speed, the delivery valve is gradually opened. The water flows in a radially outward direction. Then, it leaves the vanes at the outer circumference with a high velocity and pressure. Now kinetic energy is gradually converted in to pressure energy. The high-pressure water is through the delivery pipe to the required height.

Note down the reading and note the corresponding suction head reading 4. Close the drain valve and note down the time taken for 10 cm rise of water level in collecting tank 5.

AIM:
To compare the fractional factor characteristic curve of coil with that of conventional pipe having some length diameter and roughness. Hence the critical NRP for fluid through coils.
THEORY: Whenever fluid flows in a contact there will be a pressure drop along with the direction of flow in pipe by knowing p and friction. p can be calculated (or) vice versa. The flow equation is valid for steady flow in uniform circular pipes running fluid under isothermal condition and considering the roughness inside the surface of the pipe. However the modified tanning factor is applicable when the flow is through coil. Thus flow for through curved pipe of coil a secondary calculation of fluid called double eddy or dean effect take place in a plane at right angle to main flow. Because of this calculation. There is friction loss in curved pipe can be expressed in the forms of equivalent length Le of straight pipe. The equivalent length Le is calculated from standard graphs expressing functions of Reynolds number critical NRec is calculated by equation NRec = 2100 [1+12 FORMULA: Tanning friction factor f = 2V 2 Lp Where, p = Rm (m f )g N/m2 Relation between coil friction factor and NRe Fc = 0.08 NRe-0.25 + 0.01 (D/Dc) 0.5
