To determine Coefficient of Viscosity of water by Capillary Flow Method (Poiseuille's method)
The Coefficient of Viscosity of Water Apparatus by Capillary Flow Method, also known as Poiseuille’s Method Apparatus, is an educational physics laboratory instrument designed to determine the coefficient of viscosity of water by measuring its steady flow through a narrow capillary tube. The apparatus demonstrates the principles of fluid mechanics and the resistance offered by a liquid to flow.
In this experiment, water passes through a capillary tube under a controlled pressure difference or liquid head. Students measure the volume of water flowing through the tube over a specified time and record the relevant dimensions of the capillary. These observations are used with Poiseuille’s law to calculate the coefficient of viscosity of water under the experimental conditions.
This apparatus helps students understand laminar flow, pressure-driven liquid flow, and the relationship between viscosity and capillary dimensions. It is suitable for physics practicals in schools, colleges, universities, and engineering institutions. SPAQ LABS provides educational laboratory equipment for experimental learning and scientific demonstrations.
Aim : Determine the coefficient of viscosity of the stated fluid using the method specified in the experiment title.
