A plexiglass cylinder is equipped with an adjustable overflow and scale which enables the height of the water column to be set and read accurately. 4 types of outlet nozzle can be compared. The trajectory of the jet can be traced using adjustable probes and recorded on a white panel. The water supply is provided either from the laboratory mains or using the Hydraulic Bench.
Experiments
- Torricelli s theorem.
- Discharge coefficient from nozzles of varying sizes and shapes.
- Trajectory of the water jet for various discharge velocities.
- Effect of the height of the water column on discharge velocity.
