Flapper Nozzle System

The document describes a flapper-nozzle system used to study the conversion of mechanical motion to pressure signals. The system consists of a flapper, nozzle, dial gauge, and two pressure gauges. Air is supplied at 20 psig through the nozzle, where a gap exists between the flapper and nozzle. Experiments are conducted by adjusting this gap and measuring the corresponding signal pressure. Observations are recorded and used to calculate the gain of the flapper-nozzle system in psi/mm. A model graph is also presented to show the relationship between nozzle gap and signal pressure.

FLAPPER NOZZLE SYSTEM

Objective:
To study the characteristics of flapper nozzle system

Block Diagram:

Specifications:
Dial Gauge
Air filter regulator
Pressure gauge

: Least count 1m
: Range 0-2.5 kg/cm2
: Range 0-2.5 kg/cm2 (2 Nos)

Theory:
The set up helps in understanding conversion of mechanical motion to pressure signal. It
consists of flapper - nozzle mechanism, Dial gauge indicator, pressure gauges and air filter
regulator. A regulated supply of pressure, usually over 20 psig, provides a source of air
through the restriction. The nozzle is open at the end where the gap exists between the
nozzle and flapper and air escapes in this region.

Procedure:
1) Adjust the air supply to 20 psig by air regulator.
2) Increase the gap between flapper a n d nozzle by gap adjusting screw. Note
the pressure gauge reading for change in nozzle gap. Ensure that supply
pressure is maintained at 20 psi.
3) Repeat the set of observation by decreasing the gap.

Observations:
S.No.
