Coriollis Component Of Acceleration
Product Code : EL-TOML-11027
Quick Answer: Coriollis Component Of Acceleration is a set-up for studying the Coriolis component of acceleration of a slider crank mechanism, using water flowing through rotating tubes as a hydraulic analogy of the rotating slider. A 0.5 HP swinging field D.C. motor turns the tubes and also measures the applied torque.

About This Product
Water is pumped through the tubes of a rotating block while both the speed of rotation and the water flow rate are varied, so the Coriolis component of acceleration can be determined for each condition. The Perspex window lets students watch the process, and the rotameter reads the flow rate. In the THEORY OF MACHINE LAB, this hydraulic analogy represents the rotating slider of a slider crank mechanism.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How is torque measured on this set-up?
The swinging field D.C. motor that rotates the tubes also acts as a dynamometer, measuring the torque applied to the rotating tubes.
Q2. What can be varied during the experiment?
Both the speed of rotation and the water flow rate. The Coriolis component of acceleration is determined at different speeds and flow rates.
Q3. What services does the set-up need?
An A.C. single phase 230 V stabilised supply and a floor space of 1.5 m x 1.5 m.
