An equipment was designed and constructed to study the flow characteristics of a fluid
through a sharp-edged circular orifice. These characteristics include the coefficients of
discharge for different values of Reynolds number and the coefficient of velocity. The
equipment comprises a measuring tank, weir tank, weighing container, a sump and a simple
beam balance. The components of the equipment were adopted for the study of error
phenomenon in physical measurements The error parameters considered were the mean,
standard deviation, standard error, percentage error and the levels of accuracy. |
