DISCUSSION:

In our laboratory, for this experiment, we used the Bernoulli experiment set to observe the
variation in the height of a fluid at different flow rates. To facilitate this observation, we
utilized a venturi meter. Fr this experiment water was chosen as the observation fluid.By
opening the water valve, we established a flow of water into the experimental setup. The
shape of the venturi meter, shown in the picture below, enabled us to observe the behavior
of fluid at different velocities and pressures.

This setup allowed us to measure the height of the fluid column at various flow rates, providing
valuable insights into the relationship between flow velocity and pressure in the fluid.

 In the experiment, water levels are


positioned similar to the shape
shown on the side. These water
level values depens on shape of
the venturimeter used.

We observed the different height values indicated by the manometers at three different flow
rates provided to us. Based on this information, we calculated various properties of the fluid,
such as static pressure, dynamic pressure, velocity, and total pressure.

1. Static Pressure (Ps): It represents the pressure of the fluid when it is not in motion.
2. Dynamic Pressure (Pd): It is the pressure resulting from the movement of the fluid.
Dynamic pressure is directly proportional to the density and velocity of the fluid.
3. Velocity (V): It denotes the speed of the fluid.
4. Total Pressure (Pt): It is the sum of the fluid's motion and static pressure. Bernoulli's
equation states that the total pressure is constant.
