INTRODUCTION
Bernoulli's energy equation is a foundational concept in fluid mechanics,

attributed to the Swiss mathematician Daniel Bernoulli. It serves as a vital

tool for analyzing fluid flow dynamics by accounting for the conservation

of energy within a moving fluid. By equating the kinetic, potential, and

pressure energies along a streamline, this equation provides essential

insights into various engineering applications. From the study of water

flow in pipes to the aerodynamics of aircraft wings, Bernoulli's equation

offers a fundamental framework for understanding fluid behavior and

optimizing engineering systems. Its significance lies in its ability to

elucidate the complex relationship between fluid properties and flow

conditions, making it indispensable in the realm of engineering and

science.

OBJECTIVES

This experiment aims to get various information in

Bernoulli’s Energy Equation including diameter,

flow area, discharge, velocity, velocity head,

pressure head, total head, and head loss. This

experiment will show the relationship of each

component in the laboratory activity.

LABORATORY EXPERIMENT PART 1
1. Prepare all the materials.

2. Begin by turning on the Digital Hydraulic Bench. Activate

water flow by pushing the black button under the Pump

Control.

3. Adjust the volume flow rate using the valve.

4. Water will flow exclusively in the Fluid Friction Apparatus,

with only one pipe open. The pipe has an inlet where water

enters and an outlet where it exits.

5. The water will flow through a pipe with various

diameters. Record the diameters where you want to place

the starting point; you can find these diameters on the left

side of the Fluid Friction Apparatus.

6. To measure pressure, use the piezometer. Ensure the

hose of the specific diameter is where you are measuring

the pressure. As there are two diameters, the pressures will

differ.

7. The experiment consists of three trials. Start by adjusting

the volume flow rate with the valve and repeat the

process.

LABORATORY EXPERIMENT PART 2
1. After completing Laboratory Experiment Part 1, proceed to

Laboratory Experiment Part 2.

2. Begin with the volume flow rate as unknown; the teacher

will change the volume flow rate.

3. The only given information will be the two pressures

observed in the piezometer.

4. The pipe diameters remain the same as in Laboratory

Experiment 1.

5. Consider the elevation of two points, which remains

constant.

CONCLUSION

The results we found after conducting

the experiment showed an important

connection between the variables

stated in Bernoulli's equation.

With the use of a streamlined pipe with

varying cross-sectional areas, it allowed

us to explore the relationship between

velocity and pressure. As the fluid

passed through smaller sectional area

pipes, the velocity increases,

accompanied by a proportional

decrease in pressure. On the other

hand, pipes with larger cross-sectional

area had lower velocity and higher

pressure.
