Pressure losses in the pipe flow of incompressible fluids cause pressure losses in pipes. Fundamental experiments demonstrate the pressure losses in straight pipe sections and the pressure losses due to flow separation in pipe elements such as pipe bends or enlargements.
Used in conjunction with accessory makes it possible to record the pressure losses in various pipe elements. The pipe elements may be combined and assembled to create a variety of piping systems. The pipe is attached to the fan in place of the intake pipe in Principles of air flow. A replaceable pipe element (sudden enlargement or uninterrupted air inlet) is attached at the pipe inlet.
