There are a few careless mistakes that have been done during this
experiment..The one who collect the fluid might not begin right when the person
monitoring the stopwatch ticking on it. Therefore the values calculated in results section
might not be exactly 100% correct. But based on our observation, the characteristic of
the dye produced is similar with the theory. We observe that, the blue dye shape change
from thin thread to sligthly swirlling at the lower part and still a thin thread at the upper
part. Then, the shape is change from slightly swirll to completely swirlling. We can say
that this change is from laminar to transitional and then, to turbulent.

PROCEDURES :
Experiment A
1.
2.
3.
4.
The injector was lower until it was seen in the glass tube.
The pump was open to allow the water flow.
The inlet valve, V1 were open and the water was allowed to enter stilling tank.
A small overflow spillage was ensure through the over flow tube to maintain a
constant level.
5. The water was allowed to settle for a few minutes.
6. The water flow was letting through the visualizing tube.
7. The dye control valve, V4 was slowly adjusted until a slow with dye injection was
achieved.
8. The water inlet valve, V1 and outlet valve, V2 was regulated until a straight
identifiable dye line was achieved. Laminar flow was determined.
9. The flow rate at the outlet valve, V2 was measured until 4L used volumetric
method. The time taken was recorded.
10. The experiment was repeated by regulating water inlet valve, V1 and outlet
valve, V2 for produced transitional and turbulent flow.
