Abstract

Incompressible fluid flow is a topic that most engineers will encounter in their professional career. Due to this, this experiment provides exposure to the relevant calculations necessary for system analysis and design.

There were tow main objectives to complete with this experiment. First, the understanding of the energy loss in a fluid between a pipe’s inner walls and the flowing fluid itself is important.

Second, calculate the friction factor of the actual pipe with given initial conditions.

First, the understanding of energy loss in a fluid can be realized by measuring a pressure

differential along a certain length of pipe. Numerical values for this objective can be found later in this report.

Second, the calculated and measured friction factors were obtained using Darcy’s equation and one of two ...
