The Design of a Fluid Meters Apparatus for the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory
نویسنده
چکیده
An inexpensive yet portable device for calibrating four different flow meters in the undergraduate fluid mechanics laboratory was designed and constructed. The apparatus contains a rotameter, a turbine-type meter, a venturi meter, and an orifice meter. All four meters are calibrated simultaneously using a volumetric measuring tank. Results obtained by undergraduate students are presented, and advantages of using this apparatus are described.

Dynamical stability of cantilevered pipe conveying fluid in the presence of linear dynamic vibration absorber
When the velocity of fluid flow in a cantilevered pipe is successively increased, the system may become unstable and flutter instability would occur at a critical flow velocity. This paper is concerned with exploring the dynamical stability of a cantilevered fluid-conveying pipe with an additional linear dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) attachment. It is endeavoured to show that the stability o...

The harmony search algorithm is applied to the optimum designs of functionally graded (FG)-carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-reinforced pipes conveying fluid which are subjected to a moving load. The structure is modeled by the Reddy cylindrical shell theory, and the motion equations are derived by Hamilton's principle. The dynamic displacement of the system is derived based on the differential quadratur...
