Basic thermodynamics
•Design a laboratory investigation exercise using specified equipment to allow the characteristics of a convergent-divergent flow duct to be investigated and the validity of Bernoulli’s theorem to be tested.
• Prepare and present the background theory to support the laboratory
investigation.
• Outline a detailed procedure for undertaking the laboratory investigation and present an appropriate result table that enables data for three volume flow rates through the venturi to be recorded and results analyzed and presented using appropriate methods.
• The designed laboratory exercise should include an element that
demonstrates how the dynamic pressure at each wall static pressure tapping varies along the venturi.
