SPECIFICATION

Osborne Reynolds - Reynolds Number and Transitional Flow  

  • Free-standing apparatus that gives a visual demonstration of laminar and turbulent flow 
  • Constant head reservoir and flow-smoothing parts for a smooth flow 
  • Uses dye Infector system to show flow patterns 
  • Investigates Reynolds number at transition 
  • Clear tube and light-coloured shroud to help flow visualisation (see flow more clearly) 
  • Shows turbulent and laminar flow 
  • Demonstration of transition between laminar and turbulent flow 
  • Determination of transition Reynolds numbers and comparison with accepted values 
  • Investigation of the effect of varying viscosity and demonstration that the Reynolds number at transition is independent of viscosity 

To include: 

  • Protective Glass Fibre Housing 
  • Precision Bore Tube of 11 mm inside diameter, 2.5 mm wall thickness, 1015 mm long 
  • Constant Head Tank, 120 mm dia, 300 mm height (approx 3.4 L), with Bell Mouth Entry 
  • Stilling bed consisting of glass beads 
  • Dye Injector Bottle and tube, 250 mL 
  • Heater Module to allow testing at different viscosities 360 mm wide x 450 mm high x 330 mm front to back, 10 kg 
  • Controls for Temperature and Flow o Full earth leakage protection
  • Over-temperature cut-out
