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.

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...

Methods of Quarrying

 Quarrying is the process of extracting natural stones from the earth's surface. There are several methods of quarrying that are used in the stone industry, each with its advantages and disadvantages. Here are some of the most common methods of quarrying: Digging method: This is the simplest method of quarrying and involves digging a large pit or hole in the ground to extract the stone. This method is most commonly used for softer stones like sandstone and limestone. Drilling and blasting method: This method involves drilling a series of holes in the rock face and then inserting explosives into the holes. The explosives are then detonated, which breaks the rock into smaller pieces that can be extracted. This method is most commonly used for harder stones like granite, marble, and basalt. Wire sawing method: This method involves using a diamond wire saw to cut through the rock. The wire is fed through a series of pulleys and powered by a motor, which allows it to cut through the sto...
