The equipment is designed and fabricated to demonstrate the Bernoulli's theorem. It consists of a test section made of acrylic. It has convergent and divergent sections. Pressure tapings are provided at different locations in convergent and divergent section. Present set-up is self-contained water re-circulating unit, provided with a sump tank, centrifugal pump etc. Water is pumped by means of centrifugal pump and passing through the inlet tank, and test section, it returns back to the sump which make the system re-circulating type. Inlet tank is provided with a fixed overflow which maintains constant head condition of flowing fluid for test section. An arrangement is done to conduct the experiment on different flow rates. Flow rate of water is measured with the help of flow measuring device. The supplied set-up is complete in all respect. Only water supply and electricity supply is to be provided by the end user for running the set-up. The present set-up has a facility to interface the system with computer which enables to log the experimental data using computer. The educational software and data-logging package has been developed for unit. The software environment base is of Lab view of NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS, USA. This software is compatible to interfacing unit designed by Engineers. This software package provides a comprehensive educational software environment within which the investigations can be performed. This software is capable to tabulate the sample readings according to the requirement of experiment under study and results obtained can be compared. The real time data acquisition can be done by interfacing the set-up with computer using software. Software allows the user to have control on data logging, printing the stored data, preparing spread sheets in Excel etc.

•Tanks will be made of Stainless Steel.

•An ENGLISH instruction manual consisting of experimental procedures, block diagram etc. will be provided along with the Apparatus.

•The whole set-up is well designed and arranged on a rigid structure painted with industrial PU Paint.
