This experiment is carried out to investigate the validity of Bernoulli’s theorem when appliedto the steady flow of water in tapered duct and to measure the flow rates and both static andtotal pressure heads in a rigid convergent/divergent tube of known geometry for a range of steady flow rates. The Bernoulli’s theorem ( Bernoulli’s t heorem, 2011) relates the pressure,velocity, and elevation in a moving fluid (liquid or gas), the compressibility and viscosity(internal friction)of which are negligible and the flow of which is steady, or laminar. In order to demonstrate the Bernoulli’s theorem , the F1-15 Bernoulli’s Apparatus Test Equipment isused in this experiment. The pressure difference taken is from h 1 -h 5 where the values of h 1 -h 5 are determined to be 50m, 100m and 150m respectively. The time to collect 0.003m 3 water inthe tank was measured. Lastly the flow rate, velocity, dynamic head, and total head werecalculated using the data of the results and from the data given for
