BERNOULLIS THEORY

OBJECTIVE:
1.To find the total head or total energy per unit weight of water.
2.To plot the graph between number of tube and pressure head.
3. To plot the graph between number of tube and velocity head.

THEORY

This inverse relationship between the pressure and speed at a

point in a fluid is called Bernoulli's principle.

Bernoulli's principle: At points along a horizontal streamline,

higher pressure regions have lower fluid speed and lower pressure
regions have higher fluid speed.

It might be conceptually simplest to think of Bernoulli's principle

as the fact that a fluid flowing from a high pressure region to a
low pressure region will accelerate due to the net force along the
direction of motion.

PROCEDURE

1) Measure and record the ambient air temperature.

2) Measure the dimensions of the test section.
3) Ensure that the manometer is leveled correctly. The fluid level should be equal
in each tube. Level the manometer if required.
4) Adjust the flow rate to low and start the fan. Move the Pitot - static tube
vertically so that the manometer reads a high reading (low pressure). Then,
carefully adjust the flow rate to high, but DO NOT ALLOW the manometer to
overflow at any time. If the manometer is going to overflow, reduce the flow rate
until it is safe to continue. Ensure that the high pressure (low readings) is within
the scale of the manometer.
5) Position the Pitot-static probe vertically so that at least two readings can be
taken in each test section (converging, constant, and diverging). Record the
manometer readings [millibars] for the stagnation point, static point, and air box
pressures. At each test location, measure the cross-sectional area of the test
section and the distance from the top of the test section (use the static point).
6) Adjust to a low flow rate and repeat step 5.
