Verifying the Bernoulli Equation – Measuring with the Precision Manometer
The experiments P1.8.7.3 and P1.8.7.4 verify the Bernoulli equation. The difference between the total pressure and the static pressure is measured as a function of the cross-section, whereby the cross-section of the wind tunnel is gradually reduced by means of a built-in ramp. If we assume that the continuity equation applies, the cross-section Aprovides a measure of the flow speed v due to
