1. Aim of Experiment
To determine volumetric flowrate for each of both pumps by using volume
and time.

2. Procedure
Procedure Steps:
1. Fill the water bath (if it is empty) by water.
2. Take water from the bath by pump AB-1 by the hose to the cylinder.
3. Fill the cylinder by 150 mL of water.
4. Read the level of water which means the volume of water.
5. We used timer at the same time with filling the cylinder.
6. Take out the water after every 150 mL fillings.
7. Repeat previous steps 4 times.
8. Reactants can move by their hose from the reactant containers by the pumps.
9. Each of reactants have 1 pump to transfer it to the bath before the reactors to
add its temperature.
10. In each test we need to speed up the velocity of pump AB-2 or AB-3 that
we used.
11. Finally, we know in each test we learnt that if we add velocity of both of the
pumps the cylinder fills faster, Also, we learn that both of the pumps
different only in velocity.

3. Reactant Container 1: For storage reactant 1.
4. Reactant Container 2: For storage reactant 2.
5. Water Pump AB-1: it used for pumping water.
6. Pump AB-2: It used for pump the reactor 1.
7. Pump AB-3: It used for pump the reactor 2.
8. Pump AB-1 on/off button: It used for switch on or switch of pump AB-1.
9. Power Button: Used to turn on control unit.
10. Temperature Display: For displaying the temperatures
11. Temperature Sensor: for record temperature.
12. Speed Controller: For control the velocity of reactant.
13. Sensor Selector: it used for select the temperature sensor that you want.
