A PROJECT REPORT ON FABRICATION OF FLOW NOZZLE

ABSTRACT

The flow nozzle was constructed based on the dimensions and specifications of the international standard organization (I.S.O) recommendation.

Throat diameter 42.5mm

Length converging nozzle 68mm

Thickness of nozzle 2mm

Diameter of major axis of ellipse 85mm

Diameter of minor axis of ellipse 56.6mm

Diameter of duct pipe 85mm

The absence of this device (Nozzle) has imposed a very big problems to early scientist. This had existed due to the difficulties in measuring fluid flow in channel.

These scientist latter came out with different kinds of nozzle which facilitates measurement. They were convergent, divergent and divergent-convergent nozzle.

Other metering devices include venturi meter orifice meter, weir etc. each  of them has different structures and mode of operation.

The constructed electric is attached to an upstream pipe to give a substantial steady flow to the down stream pipe. Fouling and head loss should be minimized likewise eddies formation. Lastly, the same diameter of tube should be used to replace themanometric tube when it got broken. Likewise the fluid should be maintained.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

The aim of this project is to construct a flow nozzle capable of conveying fluid (liquid) from one point to the other. The parameter used depict the pressure change, the velocity and quantity of flow is also inclusive. The nozzle should be able to create a pressure drop in moving fluid and give the quanity of fluid that flow through for a given period of time. The nozzle should be capable of satisfying industrial requirement when placed in process plant for fluid supply.

The flow nozzle fabricated was based on the following prescriptions.

Length of converging nozzle              68mm

The thickness of the nozzle                 2mm

Diameter of ellipse major axis             85mm

Diameter of ellipse minor axis                        56.6mm

Diameter of the duct (pipe0                85mm
