Experimental Study Of Influence Of Density Of Fluid On Minor Losses

Abstract

The study of influence of density on minor losses coefficient of incompressible fluid run through pipes. The experimental test rig fabricated with all necessary attachments. The head losses due to minor pipe fittings were estimated, at specific points for the specified mass flow rate. By using the manometers head loss due to minor loss was measured. All the measurements were calibrated and validated in a maximum difference of standard 5%. The head losses decrease as the mass flow rate decreases, for all pipe fittings.
