2. METHODOLOGY
The experiment had three
objectives. The first one is to know
how to operate the Wiley mill and the
sieve shaker. The second is to make a
screen analysis of particles by using
the Tyler standard screens. Lastly, to
evaluate the screen analysis of
particles by computing the length
mean
diameter,
volume
mean
diameter, surface mean diameter and
the Sauter mean diameter.
The equipment and materials
used in this experiment was the Wiley
mill, Tyler standard screens, sieve
shaker, digital balance, stop watch,
brush and pieces of chalk. Protective
masks were also worn as safety
precaution against allergies from the
chalk dust.

4. CONCLUSION
The experiment was able to attain
its objectives. A calibration for the orifice
meter was generated and compared with
the graph of the rotameter. Using the
gathered
data
and
calculations
performed, the effect of increasing the
mass flow rate of water to the coefficient
of discharge was also determined.
Based from the tables and graphs
presented, several conclusions were
made. As the mass flow rate increases,
the velocities of the fluid through the pipe
