This experiment is designed to demonstrate and apply knowledge of the basic principles of fluid mechanics. In this lab we`re going to quantitatively analyse fluid flow through pipes and calculate the corresponding values to examine how the material of a pipe and its diameter are related to the energy loss during this process and also the effects on the volumetric flow rate of the fluid. There are two types of materials of the pipes that will be used to
.compare the performance: polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and copper
