Experimental analysis of coriolis component of acceleration in a hydraulic system with rotating tubes

This study investigates the Coriolis Component of Acceleration in planar motion systems to develop a comprehensive theoretical and practical framework for its analysis. Need for this research is driven by the critical influence Coriolis Acceleration has on the dynamics of systems with both linear and rotational motion, which are common in engineering applications. In this article, efforts are made to analyse Coriolis Component of Acceleration using a hydraulic system, consisting of a continuously flowing stream of water through a constantly rotating pair of tubes, examining the effects of linear and angular velocities on Coriolis Acceleration. The rotational speed of the motor and fluid discharge rate were varied for 15 experimental combinations, with each test conducted in two stages and replicated three times. In all 45 experiments were conducted. The uncertainty analysis was performed using Student’s t-test. The findings indicate that there is a reasonable agreement between the theoretical and experimental values of the Coriolis Acceleration, particularly at lower angular velocities. This suggests that the theoretical framework effectively captures the dynamics of Coriolis Acceleration under the experimental conditions studied. This study enhances the understanding of Coriolis Component of Acceleration in practical applications.
