Flapper Nozzle System Experiment

This document describes an experiment to study the characteristics of a flapper nozzle system. The system consists of a flapper-nozzle mechanism that controls air flow through adjustment of the gap between the flapper and nozzle. The procedure involves setting a regulated air supply pressure, adjusting the nozzle gap to achieve different signal pressures, recording measurements, and plotting a graph of signal pressure versus nozzle gap. The goal is to calculate the sensitivity of the flapper nozzle based on the change in signal pressure relative to changes in the nozzle gap.

Experiment No - 4

Flapper Nozzle System

IPC LAB, Dept. of Chemical Engineering, NITW

Page 1

AIM:
To study the characteristics of flapper nozzle system.

DESCRIPTION:
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.

PRODECURE:
1) Adjust the air supply to 20 psig by air regulator.
2) Increase the gap between flapper and nozzle to get 3 psi signal pressure and note the dial
reading.
3) Decrease the gap between flapper and nozzle by gap adjusting screw. Note the dial gauge
reading for each psi change in signal pressure. Ensure that supply pressure is maintained at 20
psi.
4) Repeat the set of observation by increasing the gap.
5) Repeat the experiment for supply pressure of 15 psig.
6) Tabulate the readings in the observation table and plot the graph of signal Pressure verses
nozzle gap
