Flow through Packed Bed
VIRTUAL LAB @ NITK
- Click on Label Tab to see the Experimental Setup.
- Click on Setup Tab to Configure Experimental Setup.
- Now click on Experiment Tab to perform the experiment.
- To start the experiment first switch ON the pump by clicking the GREEN button on the pump.
- Once the pump is turned on Setup Tab will be disabled and will be enabled only if pump is OFF. Click on RED button on pump to switch OFF pump.
- To set the required flowrate click and hold on Main valve and drag in AntiClockWise direction for opening Valve and ClockWise direction for closing the Valve.
- Note the change in limb level of manometer. h1 and h2 are corresponding Manometric Limb heights from reference level.
- Click on Add current readings button to record the reading in Observation table.
- Click on Observations button to see the Observation table. Click again to hide the Table.
- Click on Experimental Data button to see the Experimental Data. Click again to hide.
- If you get Manometer Overflow Error, goto Setup Tab and change the Manometer.
- To Evaluate experiment click on title Flow Through Packed Bed.
- Click on Data tab to configure Experimental data.
- Click on Observation tab to Enter your Observations. Specify number of sets of readings.
- Click on Evaluate button to see the Results.
- To perform experiment again click on the Flow Through Packed Bed.
