BERNOULLI TUBES

  

APPARATUS
Bernoulli tubes 202-16-F
rubber tubing 201A
 
DESCRIPTION
Connect rubber tubing to air supply behind large demonstration bench.  Water manometers along pipe with constriction show that the pressure in the narrow part where the air speed is greatest is less than in the wider sections.  Compare the pressure in the two equal diameter sections to show the pressure drop due to friction.

NOTES
 
Manometers contain water and food coloring.

Keep manometers stoppered when not in use.
