EXPERIMENT 1

CALCULATE FLOWRATE

Flow rate = volume / time

i) For volume : 2.08 x 10^-4 m3

Flow rate = 2.08 x 10^-4 m3 / 15 s
= 1.3867 x 10^-5 m3/s

ii) For volume : 5.53 x 10^-4 m3

Flow rate = 5.53 x 10^-4 m3 / 15 s
= 3.6800 x 10^-5 m3/s

iii) For volume : 7.62 x 10^-4 m3

Flow rate = 7.62 x 10^-4 m3 / 15 s
= 5.0778 x 10^-5 m3/s

CALCULATE FLUID VELOCITY

Fluid velocity = Flow rate x Area

i) For volume : 2.08 x 10^-4 m3

Fluid velocity = 1.3867 x 10^-5 m3/s x 1.91 x 10^-4 m2
= 0.0726 m/s
ii) For volume : 5.53 x 10^-4 m3
Fluid velocity = 3.6800 x 10^-5 m3/s x 1.91 x 10^-4 m2
= 0.1930 m/s

iii) For volume : 7.62 x 10^-4 m3

Flow rate = 5.0778 x 10^-5 m3/s x 1.91 x 10^-4 m2
= 0.2659 m/s

CALCULATE REYNOLD’S NUMBER

Reynold’s Number = (Fluid velocity x diameter) / kinematic viscosity

i) For volume : 2.08 x 10^-4 m3

Reynold’s number = (0.0726 m/s x 0.0156 m) / 0.89 x 10^-6 m2/s
= 1272.58

ii) For volume : 5.53 x 10^-4 m3

Reynold’s number = (0.1930 m/s x 0.0156 m) / 0.89 x 10^-6 m2/s
= 3383. 26

iii) For volume : 7.62 x 10^-4 m3

Reynold’s number = (0.2659 m/s x 0.0156 m) / 0.89 x 10^-6 m2/s
= 4959.90
