Coriolis Component of Acceleration Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-DOMLE-9141
Jlab Export is a leading Coriolis Component of Acceleration Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
This apparatus is used to find the Coriolis component of acceleration on water flowing through rotating arms. A 0.5 HP DC motor drives the arms, and a monoblock pump supplies water through a rotameter reading 300 to 3000 LPH. Tests can be run at several arm speeds and flow rates and compared with theory.

Where the Coriolis Component Comes From
When a particle slides along a link that is itself turning, its acceleration has an extra term called the Coriolis component. Its size is 2vω, where v is the velocity relative to the link and ω is the angular velocity of the link. Its direction is that of v turned through a right angle in the sense of ω. In this rig, v is the speed of the water along an arm and ω is the arm speed.
Experiments on the Coriolis Apparatus
Students set the arm speed on the control unit, read it on the speed indicator and set a flow on the rotameter. For each pair of values they work out 2vω, finding v from the flow rate, and compare it with the value from the rig readings. Plotted against speed on Graph Paper, the results should form a straight line at each fixed flow.
A Digital Stopwatch is handy for timing a set number of arm revolutions as a check on the speed indicator. Before the test, teachers can introduce the idea with the Coriolis Effect Kit, where steel spheres track a pattern on a turntable.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Coriolis component of acceleration?
It is the extra acceleration of a point that moves along a link while the link rotates. Its magnitude is 2vω, with v the sliding velocity relative to the link and ω the angular velocity of the link. It acts at right angles to the link.
How is the direction of the Coriolis component found?
Take the direction of the relative velocity v and turn it through a right angle in the same sense as the rotation. When the arm turns anticlockwise and the water moves outward, the Coriolis component points the way the arm is turning.
Why does the rig have speed control and a rotameter?
The Coriolis component depends on two things: the arm speed and the water velocity. The speed control and speed indicator set and show the first, and the rotameter, reading 300 to 3000 LPH, sets the second.
In which mechanisms does a Coriolis component appear?
It appears wherever a slider moves along a rotating link, such as the crank and slotted lever and the Whitworth Quick Return Mechanism. It must be added when drawing the acceleration diagram of these mechanisms.
