BERNOULLI’s THEOREM APPARATUS
BJECTIVE
Verify Bernoulli's equation experimentally.
To calculate the total energy at differentpoints
To plot the graph between total energy vsdistance.
theorem state that when there is a continuous connection between particles of
jing mass of liquid, the total energy at any section of flow will remain. the same
vided there is no reduction or addition of energy at any point.
HEORY:
is the energy equation and is based on the law of conservation of energy. This
{quation states that at two sections of flow field the total energy remains the same.
Provided that there is no loss or gain of energy between the two sections. This equation is
jalid only for steady flow. This equation is expressed as:
Description:
‘The present experimental set-up for Bemoull’s Theorem is self-contained re-circulating
Lunit. The set-up accompanies the sump tank, overhead tank, centrifugal Pump for water
circulation, Control valve and by-pass valve is provided to regulate the flow of water in
constant head tank. A test section made of perspex, of varying cross section is providUNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING

Water Supply (IntialFil),
Floor DrainRequired
Floor Area Required: 1.5 mx 0.76m.
PERIMENTALPROCEDURE:
‘StartiNGPROGEDURE:
Ensure that all On/Off switches given on the panel are at OF Fposition.
Close all the valves Vj toVs.
Fill sump tank withwater.
Open by-pass valve Vz given on the water supplyine.
‘Switch On the main power supply & switch ON thepump.
Partially close by-pass valve Ve to allow water to fill in overheadtank.
Wait until overflow occurs from ovetheadtank
Regulate flow of water through test section with the help of control valve
provided at the end of testsection.
Ensure that the overflow still occurs; if not partially close the by-pass valve Ve to
doso.
Measure pressure head by piezometertubes,
Measure flow rate of water using measuring tank and stopwatch.
Repeat steps (8) to (11) for diferent flow rate ofwater.
CtosincProceoure:
‘When experiment is over, switch offpump.
‘Switch off power supply to panel.

RECAUTION & MAINTENANCEINSTRUCTIONS:
Never run the apparatus if power supply is less than 200 volts and above 230
volts
To prevent clogging of moving parts, run pump at least once in afortnight
Always use clean water.
Always keep apparatus free from dust.
Drain the apparatus completely afterexperimentation
FROUBLESHOOTING:
If pump gets jammed, open the back cover of pump and rotate the shaftmanually.
if pump gets heated up, switch off the pump for 30minutes.
