SOURCES OF ERRORS:

In the experiment there were some errors that the group encountered. When reading the
heights of the tubes, there were some inaccuracy in reading due to the markings that has limited
measurements.

In order to obtain better results, there are a few recommendations that should be taken
when executing the experiment. First, the equipment must be drained before starting and after the
experiment, to prevent the equipment damaged. Next, make sure there is no air bubbles trapped
before and during running the experiment. Other than that, the experiment should be run after the
group fully understands the procedures to avoid some mistakes. Lastly, make sure to read the
tubes in the right meniscus to avoid inaccuracy of computation.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION:

Bernoulli’s principle tells us that windows tend to explode rather than implode when
hurricanes. During the hurricanes, a very high speed of air outside the window leading to low air
pressure compare to inside, which the air is still. The differences of forces causing the windows
push outward and explode. That it is why to better open all windows during the hurricane.
Another example of Bernoulli’s principle application is to determine the flow speed of a fluid.
The devices such as venturi meter or an orifice plate is used and can be placed into a pipeline. 

In the experiment, the cross-sections of the pipelines or tubes are varying. This can be
concluded that if the cross-section of a tube is smaller this will cause an increase in the fluid flow
speed or velocity thus making its pressure head low as computed by the group. The smallest
cross-section having a speed in trial 1 and 2 was 0.152 m/s and 0.073 m/s and their pressure
heads was 0.057 m. and 0.159 m., respectively.
