Objectives
With the use of similar apparatus equipment through constant temperature at atmospheric pressure, the viscosity will be determined by tests in two different fluids in sets of two ball trials; along with data collected from a third set. By reducing errors and obstructions it will justify data for better discuss and calculated results, supporting the theory beyond the lab report to resonate in helping others comprehend the experiment.
Procedure
The experiment was conducted in a repetitive manner with slight variation amongst different materials within similar apparatus devices that facilitated the lab to fullest diversified potential. The equipment pertaining to the lab such as the cylinder and balls were …show more content…
2. Cylinder (A) was filled with Petro-Canada TURBOFLO R&O 100 to the brim. o By use of a measuring cup it was poured very slowly in such a manner that prevented emerged bubbles that could have formed disrupting test accuracy. o Temperature of the liquid was collected once the fluid was in the cylinder.
3. Dropped into the cylinder was a Glass (Dark) ball then a Steel (Silver) ball twice for a total of four trials. o Each ball was fished out smoothly from the oil to be removed with a hook utensil. o The liquid was drained out about halfway back into the measuring cup at a slightly incline manner pouring slowly.
4. Slow motion capture videos were conducted with the cylinder against a clear visible backdrop. o This would be necessary since it determined the time it took to reach the marked point on the cylinder.
5. Then the liquid was refilled for as many time needed before drop the ball once more.
6. Once materials of the previous Cylinder were set aside, the next items were gathered and assembled for the Cylinder (C).
It was marked at the same specifications as the previous …show more content…
The values obtained from the experiment found the viscosity from the test Glass & Steel balls for Turbo Flo to be 6.89 & 8.03 and for Water (only Glass) to be 0.54 and for SAE to be 11.14 & 9.89. When compared with the actual viscosity the error can be seen as reasonable. The values help to comprehend the overall approach taken in the lab.
What can be understood by simply looking at the final calculations is that ball’s properties affect the reaction of the dynamic viscosity of the fluid. One would realize that the constant velocity of the steel and glass balls would alter the results. The major reasoning behind this is seen when calculating the weight of each ball as its specific weight, density and mass differs between the fluids they interact
