Bernoulli

Bernoulli’s theorem is applied on flow through a clear acrylic Venturi tube. The apparatus is to be used with Hydraulics Bench i.e. HB100 or HB100N (separately supplied).

Static pressures at various points along the wall of a transparent Venturi tub are directly measured on a manometer equipped with a vent valve and a hand air pump. A movable stainless steel total head probe is also provided. Flow through the Venturi tube is controlled by a valve at the outlet. As a primary flow measuring device, coefficient of discharge for the Venturi tube can also be determined.

• Application of the Bernoulli equation
• Measurement of the meter coefficient of discharge at various flow rates
• Comparison of experimental results with theoretical predictions
