Description
The
set-up is designed to study Coriolli's Component of Acceleration of a slider
crank mechanism. Here the mechanical slider system is replaced by a
continuous stream of water flowing through a steady rotating pair of tubes.
These tubes can be rotated at various speeds by using a swinging field motor
which also acts as dynamometer. A Perspex window on top of the tank gives
clear view of the process and prevents splashing of the water over the side
of the tank. The dynamometer continuously measures torque applied to the
rotating tubes. The equipments is self contained, water re-circulating,
provided with its own speed control unit and separate water circulating
pump.
