AIM:
To verify Bernoulli’s theorem using Bernoulli’s
apparatus.
APPARATUSREQUIRED:
1. Bernoulli’s apparatus
2. Stop watch
3. Scale
FORMULAE:
1. Discharge Q = q / t =………….. cm3 /sec
2. Velocity V= Q/ A= ................... = ………. cm/sec Where A is
the cross sectional area of the fluid flow
3. Velocity head V 2 /2g = ………….. cm
4. Pressure head (actual measurement or piezometer tube
reading)
P/w= ……………… cm
5. Total Head H = Pressure head + Velocity Head =

PROCEDURE:
1. Keep the bypass valve open and start the pump and
slowly start closing valve.
2. The water shall start flowing through the flow channel.
The level in the Piezometer tubes shall start rising.
3. Open the valve on the delivery tank side and adjust the
head in the Piezometer tubes to steady position.
4. Measure the heads at all the points and also discharge
with help of diversion pan in the measuring tank.
5. Varying the discharge and repeat the procedure.
