Lastly, the individual flows were determined when all three lines in the closed conduit were opened. C. Theoretical Background The closed conduit used in measuring the flow is setup as shown in Figure I.1 on the next page. There are three parallel lines: Line 1: Consists of smooth bore pipe, rough bore pipe, gradual expansion, sudden contraction, 90o elbow, 90o and 180o bend.. This line can be closed or opened by the control of the Isolation Valve 1. Line 2: Consists of a diaphragm valve, ball valve, globe valve and needle valve. This line can be closed or opened by the control of the Ball Valve. Line 3: Consists of an orifice meter and venture meter. This line can be closed or opened by the control of Isolation Valve 2. The combined flowed passes through a rotameter and then flows back to the holding vessel. Points 21 and 22 are common points for all the three lines. When there is flow through closed conduits, there will be frictional head loss. Other losses may also occur due to the present of valves, elbows, bend and other fittings that involves change in the direction of flow and size of flow passage. Frictional head loss is a measure of the reduction in the total head (sum of elevation head, velocity head and pressure head) of a fluid as it moves through a fluid system. Frictional head loss is unavoidable in real fluids and is present due to friction between adjacent

Special on the pipe branching 29 382 lines with the appropriate amount of support 5 pieces of calculation was not able to withstand the occasional load is affected by the wind because the line was known to have a sufficient length of pipe length and diameter is very small which is 1 inch, so the need to increase support at least 2 the path to be able to withstand the
1) Measure from the wall parallel to the initial main runner the amount of the equal border calculation, plus 1/2" and make a mark on the inside of the wall
The purpose of this experiment was to measure the magnitude of velocity in a flat plate boundary layer in which the pressure was constant. A pitot tube located at the top of the test section that was used to determine the total pressure across the boundary layer. The Pitot tube needed to be able to more along both horizontal and vertical directions for accurate measurements. Five different tubes, aligned along the x-axis, were placed under the wind tunnel test section to measure the static pressure. The result of both the static and total pressures is the dynamic pressure.
Castro’s Plumbing performs residential and commercial plumbing services. Their services include sinks, bath tubs, showers, grease traps, shower pans and tilework, slabs for pipes, yard drains, water and sewer lines completely installed for the home or business, plus more. They perform gas line repairs and gas test/ gas meters, water heater sales and service, garbage disposals, home inspections for leak detection, water softener sales and installation, tankless water heaters installation and sales, etc. Castro’s Plumbing also works on the leaky faucets, “drain vision” sewer camera detection service,
The discharge (decant flow) flow in the pipe varies from continuous to intermittent through the 10-inch gravity ductile iron pipe that is a free fall discharge into the reservoir. The discharge point is a concrete headwall where the Doppler wave meter will be placed permanently.
The flow measuring apparatus is designed to study which the most preferable flow meter from different typical methods of measuring the discharge of an incompressible fluid. This can be identify by measuring the flow rate and the head loss with later to be compared to the different flow meter which is venture meter, orifice meter and rotameter.
1985). In inlet control, the inlet itself governs the flow capacity passing through the inlet into the pipe. The outlet allows for more water to pass more than the inlet can allow. While in outlet control, the situation is different than the inlet control case where the outlet cannot accept high capacity passing through the allowable limit of the inlet. There is no need for empirical equation to deal with the outlet control case as it can be treated as an open channel flow. However, in case of having inlet control, there are many attempts to address the flow capacity using empirical equations and charts due to its complexity. Many authors studied and addressed the different behavior of culvert under inlet and outlet control type (Smith 1995; FHWA; HEC-RAS hydraulic manual 2002; Herr & Bossy 1965; Herr & Bossy 1972; Normann 1980; Harrison et. al 1972; Sturm 2001; McGrath & Heger
The circuit was connected at the beginning of the lab, where the two leads from the pressure and flow sensor were connected into the data acquisition device Simulink program was built where “Scope”, “Reshape”, “Selector”, “Display”, and “Analog input” blocks were connected to acquire measured voltages from the connected pressure sensor, the voltage range was adjusted to match the expected voltages from the mass flow and pressure sensor circuits. Two channels were connected; having AI0 and AI1 input ports connected to the circuit. Also, the sample rate was adjusted to a sample rate of 1000, the Simulink program is shown in figure 1 in the results section. In part 2 of the experiment, The TA closed the red-handled valve for the rotameter so that no flow can leave the system.
The Rosemount transmitter, PDT850, has a range of ±1493 Pa (Table 1) that can read both positive and negative pressure differential across the L-valve. Its high and low ends were connected in the horizontal and vertical legs of the L-valve, respectively. If the transmitter read positive, it was assumed that the total aerations flow up the standpipe since pressure was higher in the horizontal leg. As a result, the split parameter α was zero. The split parameter α was 1 assuming the return leg aerations were flowing into the riser when PDT850 read negative since the vertical leg was at a higher pressure than its horizontal counterpart.

Ball valves are quarter-turn and straight through valves that have spherical disc which controls the flow of the fluids through the valve.
-To establish the relationship between head loss and flow rate for a straight smooth cylindrical pipe.
Unlike on/off valves, check valves are flow sensitive and rely on the line fluid to open and close. Rather than offering emergency shutoff or complete flow control, check valves are intended only to prevent reverse flow and the resultant damage to piping systems. Because of this, seat leakage rates for check valves differ from those imposed on other valve types, and should be evaluated within the appropriate constraints.
