Bernoulli 2 Introooooooooooooooo
Bernoulli's Principle is a physical principle formulated that states that "as the speed of a
moving fluid increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases. Bernoulli's principle is named
after the Swiss scientist Daniel Bernoulli. 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. Bernoulli's principle is named after the Swiss
scientist Daniel Bernoulli who published his principle in his book Hydrodynamica in 1738.
Bernoulli's Principle tells that as the fluid flows more quickly through the narrow
sections, the pressure actually decreases rather than increases. Bernoulli's principle can be
explained in terms of the law of conservation of energy. As a fluid moves from a wider pipe
into a narrower pipe or a constriction, a corresponding volume must move a greater distance
forward in the narrower pipe and thus have a greater speed.
However, Bernoulli’s Principle can only be applied under certain conditions. The
conditions to which Bernoulli’s equation applies are the fluid must be frictionless (in viscid)
and of constant density; the flow must be steady, continuous, incompressible, non-viscous fluid
flow, the total energy or total head remains constant at all the section along the fluid flow
provided there is no loss or addition of energy.
The Bernoulli equation:
𝑝 𝑣2
+ 2𝑔 + 𝑧 = ℎ∗ (𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡) (𝐸𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 4.7)
𝜌𝑔
Where,
ℎ∗ = 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 (𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛)ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑑
The terms on the left-hand-side of the above equation represent the pressure head (h), velocity
head (hv ), and elevation head (z), respectively. The sum of these terms is known as the total
head (h*). According to the Bernoulli’s theorem of fluid flow through a pipe, the total head h*
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.

In this experiment, the pressure head is denoted as hi and the total head is denoted as h*I,
where I represents the cross sections at different tapping points
