HYDRAULIC JUMP APPARATUS WITH SS TANK - VIPL - FM - 7016

Model No: VIPL - FM - 7016

In definition form, " A hydraulic jump is a sudden dissipation of energy caused by a change from super critical to sub critical flow. " The concept is very similar to sudden expansion in pipe flow, except that the hydraulic jump occurs in open channel flow. Detailed Specification as follows:

Techincal Specification

The objective of this apparatus is :

To visualize the phenomena of Hydraulic Jump in a sluice gate.
To compare the upstream and downstream depth of flows from experimental data to theoretical data.

Construction Details :

The setup consists of sump tank, pump, constant head tank & measuring tank. The entire system is mounted on a sturdy steel frame. The exterior body of the unit is powder coated in attractive shades. Flow control valve and by pass valve are fitted in flow line to conduct experiment on different flow rates. Flow rate is measured with the help of stop watch and measuring tank. The flow is established via a constant head tank. This is a simple source condition that enforces a constant elevation head of water in a reservoir be available to drive a flow. The facility we are using creates a constant head tank by filling the head with water from a pump at a rate greater than the water flows out under the sluice gate.
