About Free and Forced Vortex Flow Apparatus

Specification of Free and Forced Vortex Flow Apparatus :

The apparatus comprises a clear acrylic cylinder on a plinth designed to produce and measure free and forced vortices. The free vortex is generated by water discharging through an interchangeable orifice in the base of the cylinder, and the resulting profile is measured using a combined calliper and depth scale. The forced vortex is induced by a paddle in the base of the cylinder, which is rotated by jets of water. The profile of the forced vortex is determined using a series of depth gauges.
Velocity at any point in the free or forced vortices may be measured using the appropriate pitot tube supplied. Dye crystals (not supplied) may be used to demonstrate secondary flow at the base of the free vortex.
Supporting frame in stainless steel.
Dimensions: 500 x 600 x 45 h mm.
Bench support in stainless steel.
Hollow rotation shaft in stainless steel.
Outer cylindrical tank in Plexiglas , 400 mm in diameter, 200 mm high, 5 mm width.
Inner cylinder in perforated stainless steel plate, 300 mm in diameter, 200 mm high, 1mm width.
Variable speed (0-160 rpm) motor powered with 24 V dc.
Power supply and speed control unit.
Pitot tube for the measurement of piezometric load and the determination of the profile of the free surface of the vortex.
Piezometric tube in clear Plexiglas.
3 graduated rod.
2 water nozzles to feed the tank.
The unit should be designed to be fitted in the basic hydraulic bench.

Versatile Flow Study Apparatus

This apparatus enables users to investigate both free and forced vortex flows in a controlled environment. With its clear Plexiglas construction, fluid movements are easily observed, making it ideal for educational demonstrations and practical research. Its reliable stainless steel components add longevity and ensure consistent experimental results.

Precision Engineering & Durable Materials

Both the main tank and measuring cylinders are built with Plexiglas and stainless steel, combining transparency with resilience. This thoughtful design not only extends equipment lifespan but also permits accurate observation and measurement of vortex patterns for comprehensive fluid dynamics analysis.

FAQs of Free and Forced Vortex Flow Apparatus:

Q: How does the Free and Forced Vortex Flow Apparatus work?

A: The apparatus works by allowing water to enter a transparent tank, where its velocity and movement can be adjusted to create either a free vortex (without external motion) or a forced vortex (by imparting rotational motion). This helps students visualize and analyze the resulting fluid dynamics.

Q: What are the key benefits of using this apparatus?

A: The main benefits include visual clarity for observing vortex formation, robust construction for long-term use, and precise dimensions that make it suitable for detailed academic study. Its design supports both teaching and research objectives in fluid mechanics.

Q: When should this equipment be used in a laboratory setting?

A: The apparatus is best utilized during experiments related to fluid mechanics and hydrodynamics, especially when exploring concepts of rotational flows, energy distribution, and velocity profiles in liquids.

Q: Where is the Free and Forced Vortex Flow Apparatus manufactured and supplied from?

A: This equipment is manufactured, exported, and supplied from India, ensuring adherence to recognized industry standards and quality assurance processes.

Q: What is the process for setting up and operating the apparatus?

A: Setup involves assembling the tank and stainless steel components, filling it with water, and then adjusting inlet conditions or rotational sources as required for the desired type of vortex. The transparent Plexiglas design aids observation and measurement throughout the process.

Q: How can the equipment be maintained to ensure optimal performance?

A: Routine cleaning of Plexiglas panels and stainless steel parts, along with periodic checks for leaks or wear, will help maintain the apparatus. The included one-year warranty also covers defects or malfunctions, ensuring reliable operation.
