Practical 2
Hello peeps. This week we carried out an experiment we were assigned called the air-lift pump challenge. we were required to contract the set up with provided equipment. Here is our equipment and experimental setup Here are the results we obtained from the experiment Experiment 1 b = 10cm, Y=16.5cm a (cm) X (cm) Flowrate (ml/s) Average Flowrate (ml/s) Run 1 Run 2 Run 3 2 14.5 5.93 5.80 5.71 5.81 4 12.5 4.20 4.13 4.23 4.19 6 10.5 2.82 2.63 2.60 2.68 8 8.5 1.39 1.11 1.93 1.47 10 6.5 0.39 0.37 0.39 0.49 Experiment 2 a = 2cm, X=14.5 b (cm) Y (cm) Flowrate (ml/s) Average Flowrate (ml/s) Run 1 Run 2 Run 3 10* 16.5 5.93 5.80 5.71 5.81 12 14.5 2.89 3.78 3.20 3.29 14 12.5 1.35 1.35 1.20 1.3 16 10.5 0.19 0.19 0.18 0.19 18 8.5 0 0 0 0 20 6.5 0 0 0 0 we used an estimated flowrate of 0 as t water was barely being pumped out. it took too long to collect 100ml of water and it was not feasible for the experimenter to hold the tube for so long. 1. ...
