Development And Performance Test Of A Benchtop Venturi Tube:- ALozie, Chukwuemeka U

ABSTRACT

A Bench Top venturi tube was developed in this study. It is also a Bernoulli's apparatus and a fundamental experimental apparatus for fluid mechanics. With this set up, one could be able to verify Bernoulli's principle which is the foundation of fluid mechanics. The Apparatus was developed with materials available which are, a 0.5hp water pump, a control switch, plastic water. tank, 5 manometers, a venture tube, inlet and outlet control valves, pipe fittings, pipes, hose, hydraulic bench board. With the Apparatus, one can determine and verify Bernoulli's principle also measure directly the static head distribution along a venturi tube.
