Osborne Reynolds Apparatus

Osborne Reynolds Apparatus

Osborne Reynolds Apparatus Osborne Reynolds' Apparatus can be floor or bench mounted and is
developed for the vertical flow of a liquid through a precision bore
glass tube. The utilize of a vertical direction for the flow compensates
for the impact of any small separations of the density of dye relative
to that of the performaing fluid.

The operating fluid may be
delivered from any small bore supply point via the flexible hose given.
Fluid enters a cylindrical constant head tank from a ring diffuser &
then through a stilling bed in order to eliminate any gross variations
of fluid velocity in the head tank.



This tank therefore provides
uniform, low velocity head conditions upstream of the entry to the
vertically mounted pipe test section. Fluid enters this section through a
profiled bellmouth, designed to uniformly accelerate the fluid without
any spurious inertial effects.



The cylindrical pipe test section
is mounted inside a fabricated shroud that provides an uninterrupted
white background for observations of the dye trace behaviour. Dye
solution is admitted to the test section through a fine diameter
stainless steel tube and the rate of flow of dye is controlled by a
needle valve on the outlet of the dye reservoir. The dye injection
system can be readily removed for cleaning and maintenance.



The
flow rate of the working fluid through the test section is regulated by a
globe valve located in the base of the apparatus. The rate may be
measured either volumetrically or by weighing (equipment for this
purpose is not supplied) The apparatus is compatible with any means
chosen to alter the kinetic viscosity of the fluid, either by using
different fluids or by altering the temperature of a given fluid (the
external circuit for this is not supplied).



The whole apparatus
is mounted on a substantial fabricated steel support and a means is
provided for leveling the apparatus to ensure the test section is
vertical. The stilling bed, all necessary connecting hoses, an initial
supply of dye and an instruction manual are supplied with the apparatus.
