The acrylic cylindder<br />

is enter red in to the e inlet sectionn<br />

from one sside<br />

<strong>and</strong> fromm<br />

other side, a<br />

transparent<br />

piston is mounted. Thhe<br />

piston can slide inside thhe<br />

cylinder thus<br />

partially y/ fully closing<br />

the cylinderr<br />

inlet section, , similar in a wway<br />

Outlet Se ection<br />

Chapter 3<br />

The out tlet section co onsists <strong>of</strong> a smmaller<br />

internal diameter pippe<br />

(De=110 mmm)<br />

<strong>and</strong> len ngth (Le=1415 5mm). Large length <strong>of</strong> thhe<br />

pipe will minimize anny<br />

possible e effect on the e nature <strong>of</strong> thhe<br />

swirling floow<br />

inside the cylinder due to<br />

bending g in connectin ng pipes to oriifice<br />

plate <strong>and</strong>d<br />

fan. The shaape<br />

<strong>of</strong> the outllet<br />

provide es a flat-botto om head to thhe<br />

cylinder. TThe<br />

outlet seection<br />

can slidde<br />

inside the cylinder <strong>and</strong> facilitatees<br />
