SPECIFICATION

 

  • Power Consumption: 100 Watts

  • Operating Voltage: 115V – 220V

  • Phase: Single-phase

  • Frequency: 50/60 Hz

  • Floor Area Requirement: 0.75 m × 1.5 m

Key Features:

  • Educational Purpose:
    Designed to help students understand the fundamental characteristics of particle behavior, particularly the relationship between drag coefficient and Reynolds number during free fall.

  • Experimental Setup:
    Supplied with particles of varying sizes and densities. Experiments are conducted by allowing individual particles to fall through different liquids contained in a vertical borosilicate glass tube.

  • Measurement Technique:
    The rate of fall is measured by timing the particle as it passes between two marked points on the tube wall, providing data for velocity and drag calculations.

  • Enhanced Visibility:
    A shielded fluorescent tube light is mounted on the backboard to aid in the clear observation of particle motion.

  • Efficient Particle Retrieval:
    Each tube is equipped with a valve system at the bottom, enabling easy removal of particles without the need to drain the liquid.

  • Minimal Liquid Loss:
    The valve system ensures that particles can be extracted with minimal fluid loss, facilitating repeated trials without frequent refilling.
