Bernoulli’s Theorem Verification Apparatus
Model Number: MTFM-101
The Bernoulli’s Theorem Verification Apparatus is an educational fluid mechanics laboratory system designed to verify Bernoulli’s theorem experimentally. It allows students to measure pressure head at different locations along a varying cross-section flow passage and investigate the relationship between pressure head, velocity head, elevation head, and total energy of flowing water.
Product Specification
The Bernoulli’s Theorem Verification Apparatus is a practical educational laboratory system developed for the experimental verification and demonstration of one of the fundamental energy relationships in fluid mechanics.
Manufactured by Micro Technologies, the apparatus enables students to observe how pressure and velocity change as water flows through a passage having varying cross-sectional area.
Bernoulli’s theorem states that, for ideal steady incompressible flow along a streamline, the sum of pressure head, velocity head, and elevation head remains constant. In an actual experimental system, small differences can occur because of friction and other energy losses.
The apparatus incorporates a specially designed flow test section with changing cross-sectional area. Multiple pressure tapping points are positioned along the test section and connected to a multi-tube manometer arrangement.
As water flows through the test section, changes in cross-sectional area produce corresponding changes in flow velocity and static pressure. The manometer readings allow these pressure variations to be observed directly.
At sections where the flow area decreases, fluid velocity generally increases while static pressure decreases. As the area increases again, velocity reduces and part of the static pressure is recovered.
By recording pressure head at various points and determining the corresponding velocity head, students can calculate and compare the total energy head throughout the test section.
The apparatus therefore provides a clear practical demonstration of the relationship between pressure energy and kinetic energy in a flowing fluid.
Experimental results can also be used to plot the hydraulic grade line and energy grade line, helping students understand energy distribution and losses in real fluid-flow systems.

FAQs
What is a Bernoulli’s Theorem Verification Apparatus?
It is an educational fluid mechanics apparatus used to experimentally demonstrate the relationship between pressure head, velocity head, elevation head, and total energy in flowing water.
What is the main objective of the apparatus?
The primary objective is to verify Bernoulli’s theorem experimentally.
What does Bernoulli’s theorem state?
For ideal steady incompressible flow along a streamline, the sum of pressure head, velocity head, and elevation head remains constant.
How is pressure measured in the apparatus?
Pressure tapping points along the test section are connected to a multi-tube manometer, allowing static pressure head at different positions to be observed.
Why does pressure decrease when velocity increases?
Under suitable conditions, an increase in kinetic energy associated with higher velocity corresponds to a reduction in static pressure energy according to the mechanical energy relationship.
Can total energy head be determined?
Yes. Pressure, velocity, and elevation terms can be combined to determine the total head at different locations.
Can hydraulic and energy grade lines be plotted?
Yes. Experimental measurements can be used to plot both the hydraulic grade line and energy grade line.
Why might experimental total head decrease slightly?
Real fluid flow experiences friction and other irreversible losses, so the measured mechanical energy can decrease along the direction of flow.
What other experiments are related to Bernoulli’s theorem?
The principle is directly relevant to Venturimeters, Pitot tubes, flow nozzles, orifice meters, and many other fluid-flow measurement systems.
Is this apparatus suitable for engineering colleges?
Yes. It is suitable for fluid mechanics, civil, mechanical, hydraulic, chemical, process, and water resources engineering laboratories.
