EXPERIMENT 6
Air flow velocity and pressure coefficient around the 90
rectangular duct

Objective :
The purpose of the experiment to study the static pressure and velocity
distribution on outer . inner and radial wall for 90 rectangular cross
section bending duct.

Introduction:
The engineer is frequently presented with problems of flow
contained within tubes and ducts. Such flows may be classified as
internal flows to distinguish them from flows over bodies such aero
foils called external flows fig. (1)
Theory:
When the viscous flow was attached to a flat surface, the viscous layer is
formed along that surface, and this layer is called (boundary layer). The
flow velocity inside this layer is les than the velocity of main stream due
to the friction between flow layers and outside boundary. The boundary
layer can be defined as the thickness of viscous flow sub-layer and this
thickness can be estimated using different mathematical models. The
boundary layer can be classified as laminar boundary layer or turbulent
boundary layer depending on the value of a dimensionless number which
is called (Reynolds number). Another phenomenon which is related to
boundary layer are the secondary flow and flow separation. When the
flow turns around a curvature surface it subjected to (free-vortex) flow
such as the flow inside
the washing machine. The velocity of flow is increased as the radius of
curvature decrease and the example on this case is the flow inside the
(tornado or twister) at bad weather days.
The velocity distribution at (free vortex) can be estimated .

Procedure:

The pressure tapping along the outer wall, the reference tapping
0 and the pressure tapping in the airbox are all connected to the
manometer. The air speed is adjusted to a value slightly below
the maximum, as indicated by the airbox pressure, and the
pressure are recorded. (The setting of air speed slightly below
the maximum is to insure that the same setting may be repeated
in later tests). The tapping on the inner wall are then connected
in place of the ones on the outer wall. The airbox pressure is
adjusted to the previous value and a further set of readings are
recorded. Finally the procedure is repeated with the third set of
pressure tapping. In table 8.1 the pressure p are recorded relative
to an atmospheric datum and the pressure coefficient Cp are
calculated from Equation.
Discussion:
1.what is the main conclusion of this experiment?

We known how to measure the pressure of inner and outer rectangular duct
and in that the inner have his static and total pressure and the outer also was
have it but it was same thing it mean the static and total pressure dese not
change in rectangular duct.

2.why static pressure is different in outer and inner sides?

No it not difference when we measure the static pressure for inner was 100
and when we measure it for outer the static pressure was the same thing and
not chang.

Conclusion:
In this experiment we measure the static and total pressure for
rectangular duct and in the rectangular duct we had inner and outer
and both of them had his difference point from 1 to 10 and all of them
had difference measurement pressure.
