2 Performing the Experiments
The following descriptions of the performance ofexperiments and the experiments in Section 3 arebased on the HM 150 Basic Hydraulics Bench.
- Place the test set up on the HM 150 FluidMechanics Basic Module.
- Make the hose connections between the HM 150and the unit, feed and return.
- Close all spherical valves, basic module andexperimental set up.
- Connect the manometer to the required points.
- Switch on the pump on the basic module andslowly open the spherical valve on the HM 150.
- Slowly open the spherical valve on the HM 150.29and bleed the manometer, see Section 2.4.
- By simultaneously adjusting the bleed anddrain valves on the 6 channel manometer, re-gulate the water level such the columns ofwater are within the measuring range.
- Determine the flow rate. To do this measure thetime t that is required to fill the volumetric tankon the HM 150 from 10 to 20 or 30 litres. Forthis purpose close the drain underneath thetank.

2 Performing the Experiments 3
2.1 6-fold pressure gauge panel
The 6-fold pressure gauge panel is a 6-level tubemade of glass with a millimeter scale behind.
- The measuring range is 300 mm H2O.
- All levels tubes are connected to each other atthe top end and have a joint vent valve.
- When the vent valve is closed, the differentialpressure is measured with the vent valve of theoverpressure open.
- The measuring points are connected to thebottom end of the level tubes with quick-relea-se hose couplings.
- the first level tube has a drainage valve at thebottom end.
2.2 Differential pressure measurement
The vent valve is closed in this case. An air cushionwith the pressure pL forms via the two water co-lumns. For the measured pressures p1 and p2, thisresults in
p1 = pL + h1 ρ g
p2 = pL + h2 ρ g .
The differential pressure is then
∆p = p1 − p2 = pL + h1 ρ g − pL − h2 ρ g.
The pressure pL stands out and the following isobtained
∆p = ∆h ρ g mit ∆h = h1 − h2 .

2 Performing the Experiments 4
The zero point for the differential pressure meas-urement can be adjusted via the pressure pL.
For a maximum measuring span, it is advantageous
to place the zero point and the mean value h1 + h22 on
the center of the measuring scale hmax.2 .
h1 + h22 =
hmax.
2 = p1 − pL + p2 − pL
2 ρ g .
This results in, for the pressure of the air cushion
pL = p1 + p2 − hmax ρ g
2 .
The pressure is adjusted via the vent valve, alsosee section 2.4.2
2.3 Absolut pressure measurement
To measure the absolute pressure, the vent valveis open and the overpressure is measured. Thepressure pL corresponds to the atmospheric airpressure p0.
Here, it is also necessary to take into accountthe level hm between the measuring point andthe zero point of the pressure gauge.
pabs = p0 + ( h + hm ) ρ g .

2.4 Connecting and handling manometers
Handling the 6-fold manometer requires some ex-periences with the HM 150.29. Please take care toconnect only measuring objects with the samemeasuring range to the manometer.
2.4.1 Ventilation
Since air bubbles in the connecting hoses causeincorrect measurements due to the low air density,these must be bled.
- Connect manometer with hoses to the fittingsbe measured
- Open the drainage valve at the bottom
- Slowly open the ball valve in the HM 150 inflowsection
The pipe section and the connecting hoses arebled by the strong water current.
When there are no more air bubbles in the connec-ting hoses, then:
- Close the pipe section drain
- Close drainage valve at the bottom
- Close ball valve of the HM 150
- Switch off the pump

2.4.2 Setting the zero position
In order to guarantee the greatest possible mea-suring span, the zero position of the pressuregauge should be in the center of the scale.
- Close the pipe section drain. The flow rate isequal to zero.
- Slowly open the ball valve in the inflow section ofthe HM 150
- Adjust the maximum span with the valves andcocks of the HM 150.29
- Close vent valve and ball valves.
- Switch pump on and start measuring by care-fully opening the ball valves
IMPORTANT: The level can only be adjusted up-wards with the vent valve. If the level is too high,the pipe network must be emptied. Renewed ven-tilation is then necessary before a lower zero po-sition can be set.

3 Experiments
In the following sections some experiments thatcan be performed using this unit are described asexamples. The experiments selected are not inten-ded to form a complete list of those possible, butare instead intended to be a stimulant for your ownseries of experiments.
The descriptions of the experiments are divided intoa principles section with the most important formulaeand the actual performance of the experimentwith the recording of measured values and analy-sis.
The measured results provided are not to be seenas reference or calibration values applicable in allcircumstances. Depending on the design of the indi-vidual components and the way in the which theexperiment is performed, large variations may,to a greater or lesser extent, occur in your expe-riment.
3.1 Calibration Curve Using Area Reduction
Since the severe reduction in area at the reducerhas the effect of a metering orifice, a calibrationcurve can be generated using this fitting.
To generate the calibration curve, the pressure
loss ∆ p in mmWs is plotted against the flow rateV. in l/min.
However, the volumetric flow rate must be deter-mined via the volumetric tank on the HM 150 forthe once-only measurement of the flow rate.

3.3 Pipe flow with friction
3.3.1 Fundamentals
The following experiments are intended to deter-mine the pressure loss pv and the loss level hv
under conditions of pipe flow with friction.
In the case of turbulant pipe flow, which is saidto exist at a Reynolds’ number of Re>2320, thepressure loss is proportional to the
- length l of the pipe
- pipe friction coefficient λ
- density ρ of the flow medium
- square of the flow velocity v.
The pressure loss also increases as the pipe dia-
meter decreases. It is calculated as follows
pv = λ l2 d ρ v 2 .
The associated loss level hv is calculated as follows
hv = λ ld
v 2
2 g .
In the case of turbulent pipe flow ( Re>2320) ,
the pipe friction coefficientλ depends on the piperoughness k and the Reynolds’ number Re. Thepipe roughness k states the height of the wall ele-vations in mm. The roughness of the test pipes islisted in a table in the appendix. The relationship
between Re λ and k is shown in the diagram accor-ding to Colebrook and Nikuradse. Here, the wallroughness k is referred to the pipe diameter d.

For hydraulically smooth pipes(Re < 65 d/k) anda Reynolds’ number in the range of 2320< Re <105 , the pipe friction coefficient is calculated inaccordance with the formula of Blasius
λ = 0.3164
4√ Re .
For pipes in the transitional range to roughpipes ( 65 d/k < Re < 1300 d/k, range in thediagram below the limit curve), the pipe frictioncoefficient is calculated according to Colebrook
λ = 2 lg

.
It is an implicit formula which must be solved
iteratively. First, estimate λ, apply the formula andcalculate an initial approximation. This approxima-tion is again added again to the equation and thesecond approximation is calculated.
If the estimated value is taken from the Colebrookand Nikuradse diagram, the first approximationgenerally already is sufficiently accurate and thevalues differ only in the third decimal.

3.4 Resistance coefficients of special pipeline elements
3.4.1 Fundamentals
Special pipeline elements and fittings such as pipebends or curves, pipe branches, cross sectionchanges or also valves and flaps cause pressurelosses in addition to the wall friction losses.
In the case of cross section changes and there-fore associated velocity changes, componentsfrom the Bernoulli pressure loss(dynamic pressure)must be taken into account in the overall pressure-loss. The Bernoulli equation with loss element is
ρ v1 2
2 + p1 + ρ g z1 = ρ v2
2
2 + p2 + ρ g z2 +∆pv .
This results in, assuming the same levels z1 andz2 of the measurable total pressure loss
∆pges = p1 − p2 = ρ 2 (v2
2−v1 2) +∆pv .
The following is obtained accordingly for the losslevel
hvges = 1
2 g (v2 2−v1
2) +hv .
Apart from a few special cases, the additional flowresistances cannot be calculated closed, in con-trast to the wall friction losses investigated inthe previous section.
Here, empirically determined resistance coeffi-
cients ζ are stated in the literature for the variouselements. These enable the additional pressurelosses to be calculated easily

or for the loss level

The pipe friction resistances must be determinedseparately for the part before and after the crosssection change. The resistance coefficient on theother hand is only referred to the velocity v2 afterthe cross section change.
Of course, if the speeds are equal, the dynamicpressure component drops out and a commonpipe friction component is used.
The resistance coefficient ζ can be determinedfrom the measured total loss level and the knownpipe friction

3.4.2Pipe bend

the resistance coefficient ζ on the deflection angleof the flow and on the ratio of the bend radius tothe pipe diameter. The resistance coefficient is

also influenced by the shape of the bend. Thefollowing diagram applies to smooth and rough
pipes for the special pipe bend case which existshere with 90°deflection.
Approximately the resistance coefficient of kneepieces applies to pipe angles, i.e. bend radii of lessthan the pipe diameter (R/d<1). For example, with

Based on the pressure loss or height of the losshv, the dependence of the resistance on deflectionangle and the relationship of the radius of curvatu-re to the pipe diameter described in the theory canbe clearly seen. The greatest resistance is shownby the pipe elbow with its sharp edged change indirection. Also clearly visible is that the resistancereduces, the larger the ratio R/d becomes.

3.5 Changes in Cross-Sectional Area
The change in cross-sectionalarea on the ExerciseUnit is a discontinuous enlargement or reduction.The coefficient of resistance for a discontinuouschange in cross-sectional area can be derived fromthe Bernoulli equation and the principle of linearmomentum.
For the enlargement the following applies

Here A0 and d0 represent the constricted cross-sectional area. Since this is generally unknown,the coefficient of resistance for reductions is takenfrom the following diagram.

It is interesting that scarcely any pressure lossoccurred on the area enlarger. It is even possiblefor a pressure gain to occur here, if the increase inpressure from the loss in speed exceeds the pres-sure loss due to pipe friction.
