Abstract

Fluid mechanics is one of the important disciplines in civil engineering. It studies the movement of fluids under static and dynamic conditions. Hydraulics, which is related to this, is an important branch in civil engineering. It mainly focuses on the movement of water, water pressure, water flow velocity, and related issues. Gas and liquid flow in pipe systems is a common occurrence in engineering. The extent and impact of pressure head loss along pipes and across different fittings can be investigated and measured by controlling the pipe friction apparatus. According to literature, altering the cross-section or introducing flow control devices can modify these losses. The objective is to conduct a series of experiments on fluid flow through pipes, valves, junctions, and expansions/contractions. These experiments are essential for quantifying pressure losses or friction losses that occur as incompressible flow traverses through the pipe systems. A crucial aspect involves comparing the experimental data with numerical predictions. By analyzing the differences and similarities between the two sets of data, conclusions can be drawn regarding the experimental results.
