Bernoulli Experiment

Venturi Meter

1. Situation, A1 2. Situation, A2

• A venturi meter is a measuring or also considered as a meter device that is usually


used to measure the flow of a fluid in the pipe.

• A Venturi meter may also be used to increase the velocity of any type fluid in a pipe
at any particular point.
• It basically works on the principle of Bernoulli's Theorem.
• The pressure in a fluid moving through a small cross section drops suddenly leading
to an increase in velocity of the flow. The fluid of the characteristics of high pressure
and low velocity gets converted to the low pressure and high velocity at a particular
point and again reaches to high pressure and low velocity.
Water is flowing through a Venturi meter whose diameter is 7 cm at the entrance part and 4 cm at the throat.
The pressure is measured to be 430 kPa at the entrance and 120 kPa at the throat. Neglecting frictional effects,
determine the flow rate of water.

With the help of pipe type manometers from 8 points on


the venturi tube, static pressure can be measured.

The tip of the shaft, shown with number 5 in the figure,


reaches the desired point. the total pressure at that point
can be measured.
PURPOSE OF THE EXPERIMENT

Measurement of flow rate using total pressure,


Verification of Bernoulli and continuity equations.

z1 and z2 is at the same


horizantal level
p1 : Pressure value in A1 cross-sectional area (Pa) p2: Pressure value in A2 cross-sectional area (Pa)
h1 : Pressure (head) in cross section A1 (m.s.s) h2 : Pressure (head) in cross section A2 (m.s.s)
V1: Velocity in A1 cross-sectional area (m/s) V2: Velocity in A2 cross-sectional area (m/s)

ρ: The density (density) of water (kg/m3) is constant for incompressible fluids.

hsürtünme: Energy loss (head loss) (m.s.s)

1. Situation, A1 2. Situation, A2
Read and note the static pressure at all points and the total pressure by moving the shaft.
To measure the volumetric water flow, close the discharge valve of the hydraulic bench.

Fill the table, be carefull about the units.


Calculate the dynamic pressure values for
8 points and the flow velocities at these
points using the pressure readings.
Show the accuracy of Bernoulli's equation for the 1st and 3rd measurement points on the
venturi tube as described below (The flow is assumed to be frictionless). The measurement
points up to you, you can select any two points to show the equation is constant.
