Diseño y elaboración de un canal hidráulico a flujo libre monitoreado por sensores

Abstract

This document summarizes both the feasibility in the design for the realization of a free-flow hydraulic channel with variable slope, and its subsequent manufacture in the laboratory, in order to strengthen the theoretical knowledge seen in subjects such as design and construction of channels, channel hydraulics, fluid mechanics, pipes and pumps, among others; allowing the student in a theoretical and experimental way, to visualize the phenomena and variable or measurable characteristics such as, for example, flow, pressure, velocity, flow height, friction and others, while, its installation in the laboratory is offered so that it can be used as a pedagogical and didactic tool in the learning of the line of channel hydraulics, allowing the teacher to have a tool that allows him to develop his teaching in a more dynamic way and to complement the theory explained in the classrooms. Regarding the physical characteristics of the experimental flume assembly: the support structure is composed of longitudinal metal profiles with metal crosspieces that stiffen its base and a rectangular flume of 2.50 meters long with a cross section of 2.50 meters. 50 meters long with a cross section of 0.30 meters wide and 0.25 meters high in 6 mm acrylic, including real-time measurement prototypes such as pressure sensors, which determine with a high degree of accuracy parameters required for the calculation of channels, and finally, acetate or acrylic accessories that alter the natural course of the fluid to study its properties.
