An apparatus for investigating pulsed turbulent liquid flow in a 2 in. diameter, 80 ft. pipeline is described. The pulsation unit was powered by compressed air with a consumption of up to 2.7 std. cu.ft./min. at 35 lb/in2 gauge. The pressure drop for water flowing at mean velocities of 7.66 to 12.28 ft./sec. has been measured, both for steady flow and for pulsed flow, at frequencies between 0.48 and 0.82 Hz. The experimentally measured pressure versus time curves for pulsed flow can be matched fairly closely by a solution of Euler's equation employing the friction factors measured under steady flow conditions.
On decrit un appareil pour etudier un courant liquide turbulent et pulsatoire dans un pipeline de 80 pieds de longueur et 2 pouces de diametre. On a actionne le dispositif de pulsation avec de l'air comprime a raison de 2.7 std. pieds cubes a la minute a une pression de 35 livres au pouce carre. On a mesure la chute de pression de l'eau qui coule a des velocites moyennes de 7.66 a 12.28 pieds a la seconde et ce dans les cas d'un courant stable et d'un courant pulsatoire et a des frequences variant entre 0.48 et 0.82 Hz. Les graphiques reproduisant les mesures experimentales de la pression vs le temps, dans le cas d'un ecoulement pulsatoire, s'harmonisent assez bien avec la solution d'une equation d'Euler ou l'on emploie les facteurs de frottement mesures dans des conditions correspondant a celles d'un ecoulement stable.
