Experimental study of Bernoulli’s equation with losses

Abstract: The purpose of this work is to present a simple and inexpensive experiment to study the drainage of a cylindrical vessel. The experimental set up consists of a transparent cylinder and a web cam or a digital camera connected to a computer. The model proposed to explain the results makes use of Bernoulli's equation for real flows that includes energy losses. The experiment allows us to test thoroughly the implication of the model and to extract the relevant parameter associated with the energy losses. The exper… Show more

“…This result was recently questioned [2] [3] in the light of experimental evidence that at any nonzero h the average discharge velocity is zero. The reason is that Bernoulli's equation, which is a macroscopic mechanical balance of energy of an ideal, non-viscous liquid, cannot strictly be applied in the case of real flow due to the various dissipation effects [4] [5], which Equation (1) does not include.…”

“…The topic was chosen because it potentially brings out students misconceptions regarding to the width of container used [4]. The form of Torricelli principle is described as a cylindrical container filled by water and it has a small leakage in its wall.…”

“…In another paper 5 , an experiment is suggested to demonstrate the importance of considering viscous effects for real fluids (such as water draining out of a cylindrical vessel). In this case, the analysis is so particular that it cannot be applied to other flow situations.…”
