ABSTRACT
First of all, the objectives that wanted to success in this experiment are to determine
the discharge coefficient of the venturi meter, to calculate flow rate with venturi meter and to
demonstrate Bernoulli’s Theorem. The combination of venturi meter complete with the
manometer tubes and hydraulic bench were used. The experiment was proceed in order to
find the time taken to collect 3L of water, the volumetric flow rates of the water, difference of
the pressure at all manometer tubes which known as static head, dynamic head and last but
not least the total head. The data was recorded at three adjusted head differences which were
78mm, 116mm and 160mm. All the related procedure in this experiment is referred to
Bernoulli’s principle. In fluid dynamics, Bernoulli’s principle states that for an in viscid flow,
an increase in the speed of the fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a
decrease in the fluid’s potential energy. The values for the total head when 78mm pressure
difference is 0.162m (Ha), 0.152m (Hb), 0.080m (Hc), 0.121m (Hd), 0.129m (He) and 0.136m
(Hf). Besides that, at the pressure difference is 116mm H20, the value of the total head is
0.146m (Ha), 0.139m (Hb), 0.079m (Hc), 0.114m (Hd), 0.122m (He) and 0.130m (Hf). Lastly,
the value of total head that measured at 160mm H20 is 0.175m (Ha), 0.164m (Hb), 0.076m
(Hc), 0.132m (Hd), 0.144m (He) and 0.154m (Hf).

INTRODUCTION
In the Bernoulli’s Theorem, states that an increase in the speed of moving air or a
flowing fluid is accompanied by a decrease in the air fluid’s pressure. This theorem also
known as Bernoulli’s principle. Daniel Bernoulli which is Swiss scientist (1700-1782),
demonstrated that, in most cases the pressure in a liquid or gas decreases as the liquid or gas
move faster. This is an important principle involving the movement of a fluid through the
pressure difference. Normally, a fluid is moving in a horizontal direction and encounters a
pressure difference. This pressure difference will result in a net force, which is by Newton’s
Second Law will cause an acceleration of the fluid.
Bernoulli’s Theorem also states that the total energy involves the pressure energy,
potential energy and kinetic energy of an incompressible and non-viscous fluid in steady flow
through a pipe remains constant throughout the flow, provided there is no source or sink of
the fluid along the length of the pipe. This statement is depend to the assumption that there is
no loss energy due to friction.
P + gh + ½ V 2 = constant

The converging-diverging nozzle apparatus also can be used to identify the validity of
Bernoulli’s equation. It is also used to show the validity of the continuity equation where the
fluid flows is relatively incompressible. In addition, the results that have been recorded will
show the presence of fluid energy losses, often attributed to friction and the turbulence with
eddy currents associated with a separation of the flow from the conduit walls.
OBJECTIVES
1. To determine the discharge coefficient of the venturi meter
2. To measure flow rate with venturi meter
3. To demonstrate Bernoulli’s Theorem

THEORY
Clearly state that the assumption made in driving Bernoulli’s principle equation is:
1. The model calculation here assumes laminar flow(no tubulance)
2. The distance from the larger diameter to the smaller is short enough that viscous
losses can be neglected
3. The velocity profile follows that of theoretical laminar flow
4. The flow is steady and the velocity of the liquid is less than the critical velocity for
the liquid.
5. There is no loss energy due to friction.
Then, it is expressed with the following equation:
Where (in SI units):
p = fluid static pressure at the cross section in N/m2.
r = density of the flowing fluid in kg/m3
g = acceleration due to gravity in m/s2 (its value is 9.81 m/s2 = 9810 mm/s2)
v = mean velocity of fluid flow at the cross section in m/s
z = elevation head of the center of the cross section with respect to a
datum z=0
hT = total (stagnation) head in m
The terms on the left-hand-side of the above equation represent the pressure head (h),
velocity head (hi ), and elevation head (z), respectively. The sum of these terms is known as
the total head (hT). According to the Bernoulli’s theorem of fluid flow through a pipe, the
total head hT at any cross section is constant (based on the assumptions given above). In a real
flow due to friction and other imperfections, as well as measurement uncertainties, the results
will deviate from the theoretical ones.
5
In our experimental setup, the center line of all the cross sections we are considering lie on
the same horizontal plane (which we may choose as the datum, z=0), and thus, all
the ‘z’ values are zeros so that the above equation reduces to:
p
ρ' g + v2
2. g = hT = constant (This is the total head at a cross section).
Total head, hT = hs + hv
For our experiment, we denote the pressure head as h and the total head as h*i, where ‘i’
represents the cross section we are referring to.

DISCUSSION
Based on the objective, this experiment is being conduct to investigate the validity of
the Bernoulli’s equation when applied to the steady flow of water in a tapered duct. As we
already know water is fluid and all fluid have properties to take the shape of the container or
wherever they flow or stored. Since the volume passing through at given length of pipe
during a given period of time will be the same, there must be a decrease in pressure. From the
Bernoulli’s principle, it states that the slower the rate of flow, the higher the pressure, and the
fastest the rate flow the lower the pressure.
The Bernoulli theorem is an approximate relation between pressure, velocity, and
elevation, and is valid in regions of steady, incompressible flow where net frictional forces
are negligible. The equation is obtained when the Euler’s equation is integrated along the
streamline for a constant density for incompressible fluid. The constant of integration (called
the Bernoulli’s constant) varies from one streamline to another but remains constant along a
streamline in steady, frictionless, incompressible flow. Despite its simplicity, it has been
proven to be a very powerful tool for fluid mechanics. Bernoulli’s equation states that the
“sum of the kinetic energy (velocity head), the pressure energy (static head) and Potential
energy (elevation head) per unit weight of the fluid at anypoint remains constant” provided
the flow is steady, irrotational, and frictionless and the fluid used is incompressible. This is
however, on the assumption that energy is neither added to nor taken away by some external
agency. The key approximation in the derivation of Bernoulli’s equation is that viscous
effects are negligibly small compared to inertial, gravitational, and pressure effects.
The Bernoulli’s equation forms the basis for solving a wide variety of fluid flow
problems such as jets issuing from an orifice, jet trajectory, flow under a gate and over a weir,
flow metering by obstruction meters, flow around submerged objects, flows associated with
pumps and turbines etc. The equipment is designed as a self-sufficient unit it has a sump tank,
measuring tank and a pump for water circulation as shown in figure1. The apparatus consists
of a supply tank, which is connected to flow channel. The channel gradually contracts for a
length and then gradually enlarges for the remaining length.
From the experiment, we knew that as the fluid flow from wider to narrower one, the
velocity of flowing fluid increases. This shown in all the results table, where the velocity of
water that flows in the tapered duct increases as the duct area decreases. From the analysis
12
we can conclude that for this flow, the difference velocity increases as the pressure difference
increases.
In addition to find the velocity difference we use Bernoulli Equation and Continuity
Equation. As for the Bernoulli Equation : ViB = √ 2g (hH-hi)
Where g – gravitational force = 9.81 m/s2
hH – Reading at Tube A
hi – Reading at Tube H
As for the continuity Equation : , Vic = QA i
Where Q – Flow Rate
A – Area of the tube
Thus, from these values the velocity difference can be obtained.
Pressure Difference (mm H20) Velocity Difference, ViB – Vic (m/s)
210 0.137
116 0.110
160 0.119
As we can see from table above, as the pressure difference increase, the velocity difference
increase. From the Bernoulli’s Principle Theorem, as the pressure increase, the velocity must
be decrease. Thus, we can conclude that there must be error during the experiment as the
value of difference velocity are not constantly decreased. One of them is, the observer must
have not read the level of static head properly, where the eyes are not perpendicular to the
water level on the manometer. Other than that, the pressure on A until F are not stable yet but
the reading are already taken. Thus, there are some minor effects on the circulations due to
the errors. From the experiment has been found that the Bernoulli’s principle is valid for
steady flow of fluid in tapered duct .

CONCLUSION
As a conclusion, the objective of this experiment was achieved that is to demonstrate
the Bernoulli’s Theorem experiment. The result collected from the experiment is according to
the Bernoulli’s Theorem which is the highest speed is the one at the lowest pressure, whereas
the lowest speed is present at the most highest pressure. Due to the highest pressure of the
water, it causes the reading of manometer become the highest. This principle complies with
the principle of conservation of energy which it is the sum if all forms of mechanical energy
along the streamline.
RECOMMENDATION
Repeat the experiment several times to get an accurate value.
The eye of the observer must be parallel to the water level to avoid parallax error.
Make sure the bubbles in the manometer are completely removed by adjusting the
bleed screw.
Make sure there is no leakage along the tube to prevent the water flowing out.
Make sure the pressure difference be maintained by control the valve slowly.
