2C40.25Poiseuille flowPIRA 1000
2C40.25Poiseuille flow17-5.1Colored glycerine is placed on top of clear glycerine in a square cross sectioned tube and a stopcock is opened at the bottom to adjust flow.
2C40.25streamline flowM-310Watch the interface between clear oil on the bottom of a glass tube and colored oil on top as oil is drawn off the bottom.
2C40.30vena contractaM-254As a liquid emerges vertically downward, its jet contracts in diameter.
2C40.50laminar and turbulent flowPIRA 1000
2C40.50laminar and turbulent flow2C40.50An ink jet is introduced at different rates into a tube of flowing water.
2C40.50turbulent flowFk-3The velocity of a stream of ink is varied in smoothly flowing water.
2C40.51Reynold's numberAJP 28(2),165A tapered nozzle introduces tracer fluid into a tube at the bottom of a reservoir.
2C40.51Reynold's number17-7.1A device for varying the flow in a tube and introducing a tracer into the flow. Several hints. Reference: AJP 28(2),165.
2C40.52Reynold's number17-7.2A funnel feeds methylene blue into a vertical tube with adjustable water flow.
2C40.52Reynolds' number17-7.5Water with potassium permanganate flows through a vertical tube. Flow is varied and rate is determined by timing 1 liter.
2C40.53Reynolds' number17-7.3The flow rate in a long thin brass tube is adjusted until spitting starts. Flow rate is determined by collecting water for a given time.
