DESCRIPTION :
The set-up consists of a cylindrical test section filled with pourous medium. Pressure tappings are provided in the test section to measure the pressure drop with the help of differential manometer. Present set-up is self-contained water re-circulating unit, provided with a sump tank and a centrifugal pump etc. Flow control valve and bypass valve are fitted in water line to conduct the experiment on different flow rates. Flow rate of water is measured with the help of measuring tank and stop watch.
