Hydraulic Experiments With Valves Orifices Hose Nozzles And Orifice Buckets Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Hydraulic Experiments With Valves, Orifices, Hose, Nozzles, and Orifice Buckets As part of the experimental work conducted in the Hydraulic Laboratory of the University of Illinois a number of problems has been investigated which has not been large enough in scope to warrant publication as separate bulletins. It seems well, however, to put on record the results of such experiments, and this bulletin presents a record of four of these problems. It is believed that the four papers will be found to be of use in various aspects of engineering practice even though the experiments are not exhaustive investigations. The investigations for the most part have been the outgrowth of experimental work begun by students, largely as thesis work, and carried on over a period of several years. The variety of conditions under which the flow of water takes place, the possibility of large changes in the state of the flow due apparently to small changes in the form of the passages through which the water flows, and the necessity of persistent effort in subjecting assumptions and analytical deductions to experimental verification, make it desirable to report all hydraulic experimental results which are believed to be reliable. A part of the experimental results herein reported has appeared in the publication of a technical society. The material, however, has been expanded in this bulletin and will be found in a more convenient form for use.
