REYNOLDS APPARATUS

    The apparatus demonstrates the principle of laminar & turbulent flow and determination of Reynolds number for various flow rates. The apparatus consists of a water supply tank to which a glass tube is connected and enters at the center of glass tube cross section. For laminar flow condition, stick is clearly viable, but in turbulent flow, the die line diffuses. The flow is controlled by a valve. The apparatus is simple to open and gives clear visualization to students.

    SPECIFICATIONS
