Theory: -theoretical: Normal force on the plate (Fx)=? QV1 where ? =density, Q=flow, V1=the x component of velocity of the fluid. -experimental: force due to the jet= xw/L where L=0. 151m and w=0. 5kg

Weirs Aims: To determine the discharge-head relationship for a triangular weir by comparing experimental results (Qreal ) and theoretical values (Qideal) to calculate CD (coefficient of discharge) Results: Conclusions: the percentage error of the results [(Qideal-Qreal)/Qideal] ranges from 0% to 30% with the average % error being 16. 54% Venturi Tube Aims: To investigate Bernoulli’s equation by: -looking at the relationship between p and V for constant elevation z Results:
