Extract

Some time ago the author published the results of a series of experiments on the flow of water through tubes having uniformly diverging boundaries, in which the loss of energy corresponding to given angles of conicity of the tubes was determined. These pipes, some circular, others square or rectangular in cross section, had the same initial and the same final areas, these being respectively the same as those of circles of 1·5 inch and 3·0 inches diameter, the ratio of initial to final mean velocity of flow being in each case 4 to 1.
