The Method of Flow Measurement allows students to explore and demonstrate Bernoulli's principal theory. The apparatus features a venturi tube equipped with static points and a pitot tube for measuring dynamic pressure. The flow rate is easily controlled by a valve located at the venturi inlet. Bernoulli's theorem provides a mathematical approach to understanding fluid mechanics and has many practical applications, including aerodynamics of airplanes, determining wind loads on structures, and designing water distribution and sewage systems. The Bernoulli's apparatus is an essential tool for students in the fields of engineering, physics, and fluid mechanics. It’s simple yet effective design enables students to conduct experiments and visualize the effects of fluid mechanics in real-world applications.
Aims to investigate the validity of Bernoulli's equation in a tapered duct (venturi system) by measuring the pressure head and total head using manometers at specific points along the flow. The primary objective of this experiment is to determine if Bernoulli's equation can accurately describe the behavior of water flowing through a tapered duct under steady conditions. By verifying the validity of this equation, we can better understand the principles governing fluid mechanics and their practical applications.
