Pressure Distribution In A Venturi Nozzle – Engineering Training System (AS-INT-TVET-DVET-014)The Pressure Distribution In A Venturi Nozzle apparatus is designed to study the pressure variations along a converging-diverging channel representing a venturi nozzle, a key component in fluid mechanics and hydraulic engineering curricula. This equipment is widely used in polytechnic and engineering colleges worldwide and complies with specifications set by major international funding bodies like the World Bank, Asian Development Bank (ADB), and African Development Bank (AfDB).
Description
The unit comprises a variable cross-section flow channel equipped with a transparent viewing window and connected inlet and outlet tanks to maintain steady pressure conditions. The device allows injection of dye for visualizing flow patterns and uses a twelve-tube manometer distributed along the nozzle to measure static pressure changes at regular intervals, enabling detailed investigation of pressure distributions and velocity changes.
