2C20.07 - Bernoulli's Principle - ????
Code Number:
References:
2C20.07
Demo Title:
Bernoulli's Principle - ????
Condition:
Good
Principle:
Bernoulli's Principle or is it really Coanda Effect
Area of Study:
Heat & Fluids
Equipment:
Vacuum Blower and Surface Entrainment Apparatus.
Procedure:
Place the outlet of the vacuum blower at the proper height so that 4 surface configurations of the entrainment apparatus can be moved under it as desired. Observe how the water will move upward in the tube without a surface attached, will show no movement in the tube with the flat surface, will move upward in the tube with the downward curve, and will move downward in the tube with the upward curve.
