Air Flow Rig – Pitot Static Tube & Venturi Meter Introduction In this report I will use a pitot-static tube and a Venturi meter set up within an air flow rig to demonstrate the application of Bernoulli’s Equation and the assumption of inviscid flow. The air flow rig was set up and an imaginary matrix was defined across the cross sectional area of the air flow at the pitot-static section. The matrix had 4 cells going across (A‚ B‚ C‚ and D) the width and 5 cells down the height of the rig (1‚ 2‚
