AIM : To verify Bernoullis Theorem and plot graph between (a) Pressure Head v/s the length of pipe (b) Kinematic head v/s Length (c) Total Head v/s Length INTRODUCTION : Theorem is one of the most important equations in fluid mechanics. The theorem is based on the law of conservation of energy. According to Bernoullis Theorem, in an ideal, incompressible, steady and The Bernoullis continuous flow, the sum of the pressure energy, potential energy, and the kinetic energy per unit weight of the fluid is constant. The energy per unit weight of the fluid (Nm/N) has got the dimensions of length (L) and can be expressed in metres of the fluid column, commonly called head. Thus according to Bernoullis Theorem, the sum of the pressure head (p/), datum head (Z), and the velocity head (V 2/2g) is constant, i.e. p/ + Z + V2/2g = constant. In case of real fluids, because some energy is always lost in overcoming frictional resistance, the Bernoulli theorem for real fluids is
The water is collected in a measuring tank for the determination of the discharge. A small tank with a valve is provided at the downstream of the duct. A graph paper can be fixed on a wooden board fixed behind the piezometric tubes for marking the water levels.
Q = V/t
The loss of head at various sections can be calculated from the equation
