Data Sheet

Area of measuring tank A = 0.12 m2

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.81 m/sec2

Diameter of nozzle, d=0.01 m

Density of water (ρ) = 1000 kg/m3

Weight of aluminum disc with rod, WD+R=0.195 kg

Weight of flat vane, WF=0.024 kg

Weight of hemispherical vane, WH=0.040 kg

Weight applied on the disc= WA

Formulae:


Discharge Q=(A*R)/t m3/sec

V=Q/A

Fx=ρaV2  (for flate plate vane)

Fx=2ρaV2  (for hemispherical vane)

W=WD+R+ WF+WA  (for flat plate vane)

W=WD+R+ WH+WA  (for hemispherical vane)

Fth=Wg

Error=(Fx-Fth)*100/Fx%
