ABSTRACT
This experiment is about Bernoulli’s theorem. The objective of this
experiment is to demonstrate the Bernoulli’s theorem. This experiment use the
Bernoulli’s Theorem Demonstration Apparatus. The apparatus contains of many part
which are venturi meter, pad of manometer tube, pump, and water tank equipped
with pump water controller, water host and tubes. This experiment uses the venturi
meter to measure the fluid flow through a pipe. The venturi tube has converging
and diverging portion that function of increasing and decreasing the velocity of fluid
and lower and higher the static pressure respectively. The experiment is conducted
for three times with different flow rates starting the first after the level pressure of
each manometer A, B, C, D, E and F is equal and stable. The flow rate was taken as
the water indicator reached at 3 liters of water level. Level pressure of each
manometer is measured as head loss. From the experiment conducted, we observed
than when fluids moves from a region of higher pressure to lower pressure, the
velocity of the fluid increases. There are a little bit differences on the speed of the
flow and the pressure when we use Bernoulli’s equation and Continuity equation to
calculate velocity. Thus, we concluded that the Bernoulli’s theorem is accepted. The
experiment was a successfully and the objectives are obtained.

PROCEDURE
A. General Start-up Procedures
The Bernoulli’s Theorem Demonstration (Model: FM 24) is supplied ready for
use and only requires connection to the Hydraulic Bench (Model: FM 110) as
follows:
1. Ensure that the clear acrylic test section is installed with the
converging section upstream. Also check that the unions are
tighten (hand tight only). If necessary to dismantle the test
section then the total pressure probe must be withdrawn fully
(but not pulled out of its guide in the downstream coupling)
before releasing the couplings.
2. Locate the apparatus on the flat top of the bench.
3. Attach a spirit level to baseboard and level the unit on top of
the bench by adjusting the feet.
4. Fill water into the volumetric tank of the hydraulic bench until
approximately 90% full.
5. Connect the flexible inlet tube using the quick release coupling
in the bed of the channel.
6. Connect a flexible hose to the outlet and make sure that it is
directed into the channel.
7. Partially open the outlet flow control valve at the Bernoulli’s
Theorem Demonstration unit.
8. Fully close the bench flow control valve, V1 then switch on the
pump.
9. Gradually open V1 and allow the piping to fill with water until all
air has been expelled from the system.
10.Also check for “Trapped Bubbles” in the glass tube or plastic
transfer tube. You would need to remove them from the system
for better accuracy.
11.At this point, you will see water flowing into the venturi and
discharge into the collection tank of hydraulic bench.
12.Proceed to increase the water flowrate. When the flow in the
pipe is steady and there is no trapped bubble, start to close the
discharge valve to reduce the flow to the maximum measurable
flow rate.
13.You will see that water level in the manometer tubes will begin
to display different level of water heights. If the water level in
the manometer board is too low where it is out of visible point,
open V1 to increase the static pressure. If the water level is too
high, open the outlet control valve to lower the static pressure
14.Adjust V1 and outlet control valve to obtain a flow through the
test section and observe that the static pressure profile along
the converging and diverging sections is indicated on its
respective manometers. The total head pressure along the
venture tube can be measured by traversing the hypodermic
tube.
15.The actual flow of water can be measured using the volumetric
tank with a stop watch.
B. Experiment
1. Perform the General Start-up Procedures in Section A.
2. Check that all manometer tubings are properly connected to the
corresponding pressure taps and are air-bubble free.
3. Adjust the discharge valve to a high measurable flow rate.
4. After the level stabilizes, measure the water flow rate using volumetric
method.
5. Gently slide the hypodermic tube (total head measuring) connected to
manometer #G, so that its end reaches the cross section of the Venturi
tube at #A. Wait for some time and note down the readings from
manometer #G and #A. The reading shown by manometer #G is the
sum of the static head and velocity heads, i.e. the total (or stagnation)
head (h*), because the hypodermic tube is held against the flow of
fluid forcing it to a stop (zero velocity). The reading in manometer #A
measures just the pressure head (hi) because it is connected to the
Venturi tube pressure tap, which does not obstruct the flow, thus
measuring the flow static pressure.
6. Repeat step 5 for other cross sections (#B, #C, #D, #E and #F).
7. Repeat step 3 to 6 with three other decreasing flow rates by regulating
the venturi discharge valve.
8. Calculate the velocity, ViB using the Bernoulli’s equation where;
Vi √ 2 g(h 8 hi)
9. Calculate the velocity, ViC using the continuity equation where
Vi_Con = Qav / Ai
10.Determined the difference between two calculated velocities.

1.0 THEORY
• The flow is steady and the velocity of the liquid is less than the critical velocity for the
liquid.
g = acceleration due to gravity in m/s2 (its value is 9.81 m/s2 = 9810 mm/s2)
z = elevation head of the center of the cross section with respect to a datum z=0
(h) ,velocity head (hv), and elevation head (z), respectively. The sum of these terms is known as
the total head (h*). According to the Bernoulli’s theorem of fluid flow through a pipe, the total
head h* at any cross section is constant (based on the assumptions given).
Pressure head is a term used in fluid mechanics to represent the internal energy of a fluid
due to the pressure exerted on its container. It may also be called static pressure head or simply
static head (but not static head pressure). It is mathematically expressed as:
Where:
p is fluid pressure (Force per unit Area, often as kPa units); and
ρ is the density of the fluid (Mass per unit volume, typically kg·m−3)
In this experimental, the centre line of the entire cross sections we are considering lie on
the same horizontal plane (which we may choose as the datum, z=0), and thus, all the ‘z’ values
are zeros.
INTRODUCTION
Bernoulli's Principle is a physical principle formulated that states that "as the speed of
a moving fluid (liquid or gas) increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases. Bernoulli's
principle is named after the Swiss scientist Daniel Bernoulli who published his principle in
his book Hydrodynamica in 1738.
Bernoulli’s Principle can be demonstrated by the Bernoulli equation. The Bernoulli
equation is an approximate relation between pressure, velocity, and elevation. While the
Continuity equation relates the speed of a fluid that moving through a pipe to the cross
sectional area of the pipe. It says that as a radius of the pipe decreases the speed of fluid flow
must increase and vice-versa.
However, Bernoulli’s Principle can only be applied under certain conditions. The
conditions to which Bernoulli’s equation applies are the fluid must be frictionless (inviscid)
and of constant density; the flow must be steady, and the relation holds in general for single
streamlines.
In general, frictional effects are always important very close to solid wall (boundary
layers) and directly downstream of bodies (wakes). Thus, the Bernoulli approximation is
typically useful in flow regions outside of boundary layers and wakes, where the fluid
motion is governed by the combined effects of pressure and gravity forces.
Bernoulli's principle can be explained in terms of the law of conservation of energy.
As a fluid moves from a wider pipe into a narrower pipe or a constriction, a corresponding
volume must move a greater distance forward in the narrower pipe and thus have a greater
speed.
At the same time, the work done by corresponding volumes in the wider and narrower
pipes will be expressed by the product of the pressure and the volume. Since the speed is
greater in the narrower pipe, the kinetic energy of that volume is greater. Then, by the law of
conservation of energy, this increase in kinetic energy must be balanced by a decrease in the
pressure-volume product, or, since the volumes are equal, by a decrease in pressure.
The Bernoulli equation:
