An orifice plate is a device used for measuring the volumetric flow rate. It uses the
same principle as a Venturi nozzle, namely Bernoulli's principle which states that there is a
relationship between the pressure of the fluid and the velocity of the fluid. When the velocity
increases, the pressure decreases and vice versa. An orifice plate is a thin plate with a hole in
the middle. It is usually placed in a pipe in which fluid flows. When the fluid reaches the
orifice plate, with the hole in the middle, the fluid is forced to converge to go through the small
hole; the point of maximum convergence actually occurs shortly downstream of the physical
orifice, at the so-called vena contracta point. As it does so, the velocity and the pressure
changes. Beyond the vena contracta, the fluid expands and the velocity and pressure change
once again. By measuring the difference in fluid pressure between the normal pipe section and
at the vena contracta, the volumetric and mass flow rates can be obtained from Bernoulli's
equation. Orifice plates are most commonly used for continuous measurement of fluid flow in
pipes. This experiment is process of calibration of the given orifice meter.

Fig.2. Venturimeter
In a Venturi meter there is first a converging section in which the cross-sectional area
for flow is reduced. Then there is a short section at the reduced diameter, known as the throat
of the meter. Then there is a diverging section in which the cross-sectional area for flow is
gradually increased to the original diameter. The velocity entering the converging section is
where the pressure is P1. In the converging section, the velocity increases and the pressure
decreases. The maximum velocity is at the throat of the meter where the minimum pressure P2
is reached. The velocity decreases and the pressure increases in the diverging section. There is
a considerable recovery of pressure in the diverging section. However, because of frictional
effects in the fluid, the pressure leaving the diverging section is always less than P1, the
pressure entering the meter.

for Horizontal flow, h1 +V12/2g= h2 +V22/2g ( Pr. head, h = P 1/ g ). Z is ignored for adding in

5.3 PREPARATION
5.3.1 THEORY
A gear pump uses the meshing of gears to pump fluid by displacement.
They are one of the most common types of pumps for hydraulic fluid power
applications. Gear pumps are also widely used in chemical installations to pump
fluid with a certain viscosity. There are two main variations; external gear pumps
which use two external spur gears, and internal gear pumps which use an external
and an internal spur gear. Gear pumps are positive displacement (or fixed
displacement), meaning they pump a constant amount of fluid for each revolution.
Some gear pumps are designed to function as either a motor or a pump. The gear
oil pump is works based on the squeezing action of the two meshing gears
(internal or external gears). The gear pump is one of the positive displacement
pump and the reduction in volume inside the pump results in increase in pressure
of fluid.
As the gears rotate they separate on the intake side of the pump, creating a
void and suction which is filled by fluid. The fluid is carried by the gears to the
14
discharge side of the pump, where the meshing of the gears displaces the fluid.
The mechanical clearances are small— in the order of 10 μm. The tight
clearances, along with the speed of rotation, effectively prevent the fluid from
leaking backwards. The rigid design of the gears and houses allow for very high
pressures and the ability to pump highly viscous fluids.
5.4 PROCEDURE
N.B. : NEVER operate the pump with closed delivery valve during start and
stop of the pump power supply. The violation leads to damage of the pipe line
and the pump.

6.3.1 THEORY
A submersible pump (or electric submersible pump (ESP)) is a device which
has a hermetically sealed motor close-coupled to the pump body. The whole assembly is
submerged in the fluid to be pumped. The main advantage of this type of pump is that it
prevents pump Cavitation, a problem associated with a high elevation difference between
pump and the fluid surface. Submersible pumps push fluid to the surface as opposed to jet
pumps having to pull fluids. Submersible pumps are more efficient than jet pumps.

8.3.1 THEORY
Jet pumps, also referred to as ejectors, are devices for the conveyance,
compression or mixing of gases, vapours, liquids or solids in which a gaseous or liquid
medium serves as the motive force. They operate by the conversion of pressure energy
into velocity in suitable nozzles. They are "pumps without moving parts." The basic
principle of jet pumps consists in the liquid or gas jet being emitted by a nozzle at high
speed entraining and accelerating the surrounding liquid, gas or solid matter. The result of
26
this action is a mixture of the driving and entrained (sucked) fluids, the velocity of which
is reduced and the pressure increased in a second nozzle.

The various pipe fittings used in the piping applications are joints, bends, elbows,

10.2 EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED: Pelton Turbine test rig, Stop watch, Weights &
Tachometer
10.3 PREPARATION
10.3.1 THEORY
The Pelton wheel is an impulse turbine which is among the most efficient types
of water turbines. The Pelton wheel extracts energy from the impulse (momentum) of
moving water, as opposed to its weight like traditional overshot water wheel. The water
flows along the tangent to the path of the runner. Nozzles direct forceful streams of water
against a series of spoon-shaped buckets mounted around the edge of a wheel. As water
flows into the bucket, the direction of the water velocity changes to follow the contour of
the bucket. When the water-jet contacts the bucket, the water exerts pressure on the
bucket and the water is decelerated as it does a "u-turn" and flows out the other side of
the bucket at low velocity. In the process, the water's momentum is transferred to the
turbine. This "impulse" does work on the turbine.
For maximum power and efficiency, the turbine system is designed such that the
water-jet velocity is twice the velocity of the bucket. Often two buckets are mounted side-
by-side, thus splitting the water jet in half. This balances the side-load forces on the
wheel, and helps to ensure smooth, efficient momentum transfer of the fluid jet to the
turbine wheel. Because water and most liquids are nearly incompressible, almost all of
the available energy is extracted in the first stage of the hydraulic turbine. Therefore,
Pelton wheels have only one turbine stage, unlike gas turbines that operate with
compressible fluid. Pelton turbine is preferred for water source has relatively high
hydraulic head at low flow rate.

PERFORMANCE TEST ON FRANCIS TURBINE
11.2 EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED: Francis turbine test rig, Stop watch, Weights,
tachometer.
11.3 PREPARATION
11.3.1 THEORY
The Francis turbine is an inward-flow reaction turbine that combines radial and
axial flow concepts. Francis turbines are the most common water turbine in use today.
They operate in a head range of 10 m – 650 m and are primarily used for electrical power
production. The power output ranges from 10 to 750MW. Runner diameters are between
1 and 10 meters. The speed range of the turbine is from 83 to 1000 rpm. Medium size and
larger Francis turbines are most often arranged with a vertical shaft. The Francis turbine
is a reaction turbine, which means that the working fluid changes pressure as it moves
through the turbine, giving up its energy.
38
The inlet is spiral shaped. Guide vanes direct the water tangentially to the turbine
wheel, known as a runner. This radial flow acts on the runner's vanes, causing the runner
to spin. The guide vanes (or wicket gate) may be adjustable to allow efficient turbine
operation for a range of water flow conditions.
11.4 PROCEDURE
1. Prime the pump and start it with closed gate valve. The spear in the turbine inlet and
should also be in the closed position while starting the pump.
2. After starting and running the turbine at normal speed for some time, load the turbine
and take readings. Note the following: Net supply head, Discharge (pressure gauge
readings), Turbine shaft speed, Brake weight (Dead Weights plus hanger and rope
weight) (1kg) and Spring balance reading.
3. Before switching off the supply pump set, first remove all the dead weights on the
hanger.

14.1 AIM: To demonstrate the flow visualization – laminar or turbulent flow.
14.3 PREPARATION
14.3.1 THEORY
The flow of real fluids can basically occur under two very different regimes
namely laminar and turbulent flow. The laminar flow is characterized by fluid particles
moving in the form of lamina sliding over each other, such that at any instant the velocity
at all the points in particular laminar is the same. The lamina near the flow boundary
move at a slower rate as compared to those near the center of the flow passage. This type
of flow occurs in viscous fluids , fluids moving at slow velocity and fluids flowing
through narrow passages. The turbulent flow is characterized by constant agitation and
intermixing of fluid particles such that their velocity changes from point to point and
even at the same point from time to time. This type of flow occurs in low density fluids,
flow through wide passage and in high velocity flows.
49
breaks up and diffuses completely in the water in the glass tube indicating the turbulent
flow. There are two different types of fluid flows laminar flow and Turbulent flow. The
velocity at which the flow changes laminar to Turbulent is called the ‘Critical Velocity’.
14.4 PROCEDURE
14.4.1 Switch on the power supply. Adjust the water inflow slowly by flow control valve
delivery valve).
14.4.2. Inject a filament of dye into the water stream by opening the value from dye tank.
14.4.3 When the flow is laminar, the colored stream of dye does not mix with the stream
of water and is apparent long the whole length of the pipe. Increase the velocity of
the stream gradually by opening the flow control valve, to see the turbulent flow.
The stream of dye begins to oscillate and then diffused. This velocity of water in
the pipe is ‘Critical Velocity.

The Kaplan Turbine consists of spiral casing, an outer bearing pedestal and rotor
assembly with runner shaft and brake drum all mounted on a suitable sturdy base plate. A
Straight conical draft tube is provided for the purpose of regaining the kinetic energy
from the exit water and also facilitating easy accessibility of the turbine due to it locating
at a higher level than the tailrace. A Transparent hollow perspex cylinder is provided in
between the draught bend and the casing for the purpose of observation of flow at exit of
runner. A rope brake arrangement is provided to load the turbine. The output of the
turbine can be controlled by adjusting, the gate valves for which a hand wheel and a
suitable link mechanism are provided. The net supply head on the turbine is measured by
a pressure and vacuum gauge. An Optimum size of sump is provided to store sufficient
water from independent circulation through the unit for experimentation. Make sure
before starting that the pipelines are free from foreign matter. Also note whether all the
joints are watertight and leak proof. Prime the pump and start it with closed gate valve.
The turbine bearings and bush bearings in the units are properly lubricated. Then slowly
open the gate valve and open the cock fitted to the pressure gauge and so that the pump
develops the rated head. If the pump develops the required head, slowly open the turbine
gate valve through suitable link mechanism until the turbine attains the normal rated
speed. Run the turbine at the normal speed (1000) RPM for about one hour and carefully
note the following:
a. Operation of the bearings, temperature rise, noise etc.,
b. Vibration of the unit.
c. Steady constant speeds and speed fluctuations if any.
In addition to this, one pump side notes the operation of the stuffing box. The stuffing
box should show an occasional drip of water. If the gland is over tightened the leakage
stops but the packing will heat up burn and damage the shaft.

Cavitation is the formation of vapour cavities in a liquid – i.e. small liquid free
zones ("bubbles" or "voids") that are the consequence of forces acting upon the liquid. It
usually occurs when a liquid is subjected to rapid changes of pressure that cause the
formation of cavities where the pressure is relatively low. When subjected to higher
pressure, the voids implode and can generate an intense shock wave.
