HYDRAULIC PERFORMANCE OF SHORT PIPE OUTLETS

Abstract

This thesis 6sseribes the result of an.xp.riiz #a1 study' concerning the bdrauli a performance o f shbrt pip, outlet.. The, effect of lengtbiud.pth ratio with vaa'io' head and teal water øonditions, the eberaet,ri st s of flow and the conditions under 1WiCb the conduit runs 1'1 has been studied in detail. The imodel used for pr.s nt investigation consisted of a 4' by 4 transparent rectangular conduit *id bent $ontaUyy with a supply' and a discharge tai* at the ends. The iudal was tested for three lengths with s1ort Corner entrance and far each condit .on of flow the head- didoho;g* relationship has been Investigated. The effect of the dimensionless paters (W/D, ?/t)., L/b, P, 1Z) upon. the discharge and priming process to studied whieb chaptersabaptirs V and V'I deals- with the resit and conclusions.
