Summary The title of this experiment is the Bernoulli’s theorem apparatus. The objective of this experiment is to determine the relationship between pressure head, velocity head, and static head and compare it with Bernoulli’s Theorem. The total head of flowing liquid between two points remain s constant provided there is no loss due to friction no gain due to application of outside work between the two points. So basically the apparatus used for this experiment consist of a venture tube with different diameter at certain part, 8 tubes of water manometer, a rotameter, stainless steel tube and a stop watch to record the time of the water flow. The procedures are simple, after connecting the hydraulics bench outlet to the test set, the pump is started. Then adjust the flow rate to 10, 15, 20 L per minute. The flow rate and readings for each manometer should be taken and recorded in the table provided. The total head at any point is indicated on tube no.7. As for the result, we need to obtain the time needed for the flow to fill up 4L. Then we can calculate the flow rate followed by the velocity of the flow at any point. With the velocity of the flow for each point are known, thus we can calculate the velocity head for each point. As for the static head value is taken from the manometer readings. We can observe that even point 1 and point 8 have the same diameter but the flow rate manometer readings

    When my group went to the first station, we were testing the velocity how long it took a bobber to go down stream. To do this station, we used a piece of bamboo, string, and a bobber. We had to test the depth of the water which was 32 centimeters deep. Then we measured how long the string was and it was 285 centimeters long. After that, our group got into the water and timed how long it took to get the bobber to flow down the creek until it reached the bamboo, my…

    Part I of this experiment was specifically designed to validate Boyle’s Law, through the use of a homemade barometer. The open-end tube of the barometer, when moved to different heights above or below its equilibrium, visually achieves the application of various pressures (P) in which the volume (V) corresponding to it, can be measured. If pressure (P) times the corresponding volume (V) is a constant within the experimental error, it validates Boyle’s Law as the “volume of a sample of gas at a given temperature varies inversely with the applied pressure”.…

    The steps for this is firstly remove the calibration strip from the plastic bag, put the calibration strip into the strip inlet in the test meter, a beep will go off and 888 will appear on the screen. After 2 seconds another beep will go off and function number will on the screen, make that the number that appears matches the number printed on the box and finally put the calibration strip back in the plastic bag. For the rest of the equipment set up it is the same as the VO2 Max Test. In the VO2 Max Test it is explained how to approach this test by doing a PAR Q with the client, measuring the height and weight. Also the equipment is the exact same as the VO2 max test as calibration needs to be done on the mass flow sensor, gas analysers, ECG leads and the mouth piece and nose clips are used in the blood lactate test. Next write the information for the test into the computer which is the warm up time and the workload that is being used. Before the test begins let the client rest on the bike for a minute to get comfortable with the equipment and also to take the clients blood lactate level at rest. After the minute rest the warm up will begin and then the client will go into the exercise test where the workload will be added to the bike. The workload will increase through the test and every 2 minutes in the exercise test the…

    The aim of this lab experiment is to observe the flow behaviour of water through a pipe of variable section. Firstly, we will investigate the interchange of pressure and kinetic energy at each diameter change. Secondly, we will study the application of this interchange to the flow metering devices. Lastly, energy losses due to friction and pressure effects are estimated.…

    CENV 6128- Hydraulics laboratory exercise 1 Sharp Crested Weir- Flow Volume and Mid Channel Flow Velocity Description of Experiment The experiment took place in the Hydraulics laboratory of the University of Southampton and was conducted using the labs 12m flume. At the end of the flume was a sharp crested weir set 150mm above the bottom (Figure 1). The flume was set to three different valve settings, with water height measured for each. The time was then taken for a small floating object to flow between two points 2m apart (Figure 2), time was recorded using a stopwatch. This was repeated four times for each valve setting to allow an average time to be determined in order to calculate the flow volume as a product of velocity and area.
