FLOWRATE PERFORMANCE OF MANUALLY FABRICATED PRESSURE CONTROL VALVES
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
In this project work, a prototype of pressure control valve was fabricated with a 60liter tank and an experiment was conducted taking time intervals of 5s, 10s, 15s, 20s and 25s to find the corresponding pressure values with which on application of Bernoulli’s principle was used to calculate final pressure and volumetric flow rate as 1.294kg/m2 and 0.001697m3/s respectively. The fluid utilized for the experiment is water. Also, determining the dimensionless Froude number as 6.982 which is greater than one (>1) meaning the flow within the pipe is laminar. Conclusively as the volume within the tank reduces, the pressure within the pipe reduces and flow rate also reduces as time increases consecutively.
