VERIFICATION OF BERNOULLI’S THEOREM EXPERIMENT NOTES

 VERIFICATION OF BERNOULLI’S THEOREM

Aim:To verify the validity of Bernoulli’s equation for incompressible flow

Introduction: A fluid motion can be completely analyzed by the application ofcertain fundamental equations. These equations are

1) the continuity equation   2) the energy equation  3) the momentum equation.

The above three equations are based on the three fundamental laws normally the law of conservation of mass flow, the law of conservation of energy and the law of conservation of momentum

A fluid body can possess the following types of energy namely potential energy, pressure energy and kinetic energy.

Potential energy or Datum energy: This is the energy possessed by a fluid body byvirtue of its position or location in space. Suppose we consider a fluid of ‘W’ Kg at a height of ‘Z’ in m above a datum plane. The potential energy of the fluid is equal to W Z Kg-m. Thus, the potential energy per Kg of the fluid body is equal to Z Kg-m per Kg or we say the potential head is Z in m.

Pressure energy: This is the energy possessed by a fluid body by virtue of thepressure at which it is maintained the pressure at the point is ‘P’ and w is specific

weight of the fluid the pressure head is wP  in m.
Kinetic energy: This is the energy possessed by a fluid body by virtue of itsmotion. Suppose, a fluid of ‘W’ Kg be moving at a velocity of ‘V’ m/ s.

Then,

Kinetic energy of  fluid =

Therefore, Kinetic head  =

Thus, we find that if a fluid body of weight ‘W’ Kg be at a height of ‘Z’in m above a datum and at a pressure intensity of ‘P’ Kg /m2 and at a velocity of ‘V’ m /s , then,

Object:To verify Bernoulli’s theorem (Law of Conservation of Energy )

Theory: Bernoulli’s theorem is a form of the well known principle of conservation ofenergy. The theorem is stated as “In a steady continuous flow of a frictionless incompressible fluid, the sum of the potential head, the pressure head and the kinetic head is same at all points. i.e.;

The above equation is applicable to the following assumptions
1)  The flow of the fluid is steady   2) The flow is frictionless
3) The fluid is incompressible         4)The flow is continuous
Description:

The present apparatus is a self – contained unit operated on a closed circuit basis consisting of sump tank, and supply tank. Collecting tank (delivery tank) connected to Venturimeter with connections to piezometer tubes at different sections. A constant steady supply of water with a means of mono block pump set with outlet delivery valve for flow control. There is also provision for measurement of flow rate thus, the velocity.




















Procedure:

1)  Fill in the sump tank with clean water, and add some quantity of coloured ink to it.
2)    Keep the delivery valve open.

3)    Switch on the pump. Now, you will find water flowing to the collecting tank through Venturimeter.

4)    Now, you find the different piezometric heads for corresponding points of Venturimeter for constant supply head and delivery head.

5)    Note down all the piezometric readings and velocity head at particular point is also noted separately by bringing the inserted probe to that point.

6)    Note down height of water at supply tank and delivery tank

7)    Change the delivery head by pushing down the overflow pipe and repeat the experiment.

8)    Also, change flow rate and repeat the experiment.

Properties of fresh and hardened Concrete

 Fresh concrete refers to concrete that has just been mixed and is still in a plastic or workable state. Hardened concrete refers to concrete that has undergone the curing process and has reached its final strength and durability. Here are some properties of fresh and hardened concrete: Properties of fresh concrete: Workability: This refers to the ease with which concrete can be placed, compacted, and finished. It depends on the water-cement ratio, the amount of cement and aggregate, and the use of admixtures. Bleeding: This is the process in which water is separated from the other components of the concrete mixture and rises to the surface. Bleeding can affect the durability and strength of the hardened concrete. Setting time: This is the time it takes for the concrete to harden and become firm. It depends on the type of cement used, the water-cement ratio, and the temperature and humidity conditions. Segregation: This is the separation of the coarse and fine aggregates in the con...

Architect and Important Facts of Hyderabad Important Places

  Charminar is a stunning monument located in the heart of the bustling city of Hyderabad, India. It is an iconic symbol of the city, and a testament to its rich history and culture. The story behind the creation of Charminar is an interesting one, filled with drama, mystery, and intrigue. Legend has it that the ruler of Hyderabad, Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, was struck with a severe bout of plague in the late 16th century. In desperation, he made a vow to build a mosque if he recovered. Miraculously, he did, and true to his word, he commissioned the construction of the Charminar. The name "Charminar" comes from the Persian words "char" meaning four, and "minar" meaning tower. The monument is so named because it has four towers, each standing at a height of 48.7 meters. The towers are adorned with intricate Islamic architectural motifs, and the entire structure is made of granite and lime mortar. While the construction of the Charminar is shrouded in mystery...

Difference between CPVC & PVC

  CPVC and PVC are both types of plastic piping commonly used in plumbing applications. However, there are some key differences between the two. Material: PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is a thermoplastic made from vinyl chloride monomer. CPVC, or chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, is made by adding chlorine to PVC. The resulting material is more heat-resistant and can handle higher temperatures than PVC. Applications: PVC is commonly used for cold water distribution, drainage, and venting systems. CPVC, on the other hand, is suitable for both hot and cold water applications and is commonly used for hot water distribution, as well as for sprinkler systems, fire protection systems, and industrial piping systems. Strength and Durability: CPVC is generally more durable than PVC and can withstand higher pressures and temperatures without breaking down or corroding. Cost: CPVC is generally more expensive than PVC, but the higher cost is offset by its superior strength, durability, and heat re...
