Abstract
The main objective of this experiment was to verify the validity of Bernoulli’s theorem. Bernoulli's apparatus is designed to
demonstrate visually the interchange between pressure head and velocity head as water flows through a tube of variable cross sectional
area in a horizontal plane. In this experiment the total head of water in six different points were observed and found that the point
where the pressure head was larger, the velocity head was smaller. Though the summation of the heads did not remain constant, rather
gradually decreasing as the flow proceeds, but the values were nearly equal.

Conclusion
It is demonstrated earlier in the experiment that total heads from experimental & theoretical calculation are nearly equal. So Bernoulli’s
Theorem is another form of the equation of conservation of energy.
