Product Code : SCL-CELE-14013
This equipment is a self-contained water recirculating
unit designed to experimentally study the flow of water through a porous
medium (a packed bed). The main objective is to investigate the
relationship between the flow rate and the resulting pressure drop
across the medium, which is used to verify flow laws like Darcy's Law.
1. Key Components and Design
The central piece of the apparatus is the test section where
the flow resistance is measured.
- Test
Section: A cylindrical column filled with the porous medium
(e.g., sand, gravel).
- Material: Stainless
Steel.
- Dimensions:
Diameter 120 mm (approx.), Height 500 mm.
- Pressure
Measurement: Pressure tappings are provided along the
section to measure the pressure difference (pressure drop) across the
porous medium using a differential manometer.
- Control: A Flow
control valve and a bypass valve (inferred from standard
practice, but mentioned in a previous similar prompt) are typically used
to control the flow accurately.
2. Water Circulation and Flow Rate Measurement
A volumetric method is used as the high-accuracy reference
for flow rate.
- Water
Circulation: Provided by an FHP Pump (Crompton make).
- Sump
Tank: 50 Liters capacity. All tanks are made of Stainless
Steel.
- Flow
Rate Measurement (Actual Flow):
- Achieved
using a Measuring Tank (25 Liters (approx.) capacity).
- An Electronic
Stop Watch is used to measure the time required to collect a known
volume, calculating the actual discharge (Q actual).
- Structure
& Control: The entire set-up is arranged in a good
quality painted structure and includes a Control Panel with
standard Switches/Starter and Mains Indicator.
3. Purpose and Experiments
The main objective is to determine the hydraulic properties
of the porous material.
- Pressure
Drop Study: Determine the relationship between the flow
rate and the resulting head loss across the porous medium.
- Permeability
Determination: Calculate the permeability of the porous
medium material.
- Equation
Verification: Verify the applicability of flow models, such as
Darcy's Law, to the specific porous medium and flow conditions.
