Starting Page

The starting page contains buttons, which enable the user to get to the topic he wants to deal with.
Here is a short description, what is behind the buttons:
Topics

Shows the principle of volumetric flow measurement. The actual flow is calculated
from inserted data.

Calculation of pipe friction coefficient from measured data and theoretical

equation, both for laminar and turbulent flow. Comparison in a diagram.

Shows the calibration curve of a 2,5 bar Bourdon type manometer. The
manometer is calibrated with weights.
Determination of flow over a notch by measured values and calculation from
equation for theoretical flow. Comparison between rectangular- profile weir and Vprofile weir.
The data for single pump characteristic curves has to be inserted into a table.
Generation of a diagram (HM 150.04). Showing tendencies for parallel and series
action of two similar pumps (HM 150.16). Determination of pump efficiency (HM
150.04).
Determination of hydrostatic pressure in a water-filled vessel. Determination of the
resultant force. Checking the results with equilibrium of moments.

Determination of the metacentric height of a swimming body. Calculation of all

relevant parameters from inserted values.

Determination of the velocity distribution in a venturi tube. Comparison between

measured values and theoretical calculated values in a diagram.

Calculation and measurement of the force, that can be derived from the energy in a
vertical water jet.

Measurement of the trajectory of a horizontal water jet. The jet comes from a
nozzle on the side at the bottom of a water-filled vessel. Generation of a diagram
with measured values.

Determination of pressure loss for turbulent flow in a pipe, generation of a diagram.

Calculation of coefficients of resistance for several fittings.
Representation of the opening characteristic of shut-off devices in a diagram.

Calculation of discharge coefficient of a vertical water jet. Determination of

contraction coefficient and velocity coefficient of water jet.
