Question: Sudden Contraction - Distance between pressure taps: 1 m Pipe Bend - Distance between pressure taps: 1 m . Tabulate the flow ( m 3

Sudden Contraction - Distance between pressure taps: 1m
Pipe Bend - Distance between pressure taps: 1m.
Tabulate the flow (m3s) and measured bL(m) data for each device at both flow rates. YQ u will need to
use the energy equation to come up with a formula to calculate the measured h, values from the Ap values.
Calculate the average velocity (ms) for each fitting at each flow rate from continuity (note appropriate
areas for expansion and contraction) and calculate the velocity head (m).
For the sudden expansion, calculate the appropriate K value from equation 3(sudden expansion).
For the sudden contraction, calculate the appropriate K value from the information in Figure 3.
Compute the predicted h, from equation 2 for each device using the determined K values:-
