Water Reservoir & Surge Tower Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-CELE-14150
Description
The Water Reservoir and Surge Tower
Apparatus is a comprehensive experimental unit designed to study unsteady
flow phenomena, flood routing, and pressure transients in
hydraulic systems. It comprises two identical reservoirs connected in series,
simulating real-world water storage and control systems.
The lower reservoir supplies a pipeline
that terminates in a surge tower equipped with a flow control valve
and shut-off valve. Water enters the upper reservoir through a 50
L/min flowmeter and, upon reaching a set level, spills over a weir
into the lower reservoir.
Pressure transducers measure the water levels in both reservoirs and the surge tower, while
a pen recorder or data system captures the hydrographs for calibration
and analysis.
This apparatus effectively demonstrates:
- The use of reservoirs in water storage and flood control.
- The function of a surge tower in mitigating pressure
fluctuations in pipelines and hydro systems.
- Hydrological and hydraulic principles such as mass continuity and unsteady flow dynamics.
Key
Learning Objectives
- Understanding unsteady flow theory and mass continuity.
- Studying flood routing and the relationship between
reservoir inflow and outflow hydrographs.
- Analyzing mass oscillations in surge towers and pipelines
used in pump or hydropower installations.
