FREE VORTEX APPARATUS

Product Description

The experimental set up consist of a circulartransparent cylindrical tank in which four circumferential jets are placedalong the circumference of the cylinder near its bottom which helps in theformation of free vortex. It is assumed that the torque exerted by these jetsis negligible.

A pointer can be transversed horizontally &vertically across full diameter of the vessel so that water surface profile canbe measure. Both axes contain graduations so that exact position of the pointeris known. The experimental procedure involves measurement of the resulting freesurface that represents the variation of the sum of the pressure head and datumhead. An arrangement is provided to drain the vessel.

Experimentation:

To plot the surface profile of a free vortex bymeasurement of the surface profile coordinates and to show that total energy isconstant throughout vortex.
