Title: How to calculate the total energy in a venturi flume?
Post by: irina on Oct 29, 2013
I am doing a lab report for university and it involves a venturi flume and broad-crested weir (2 separate experiments) and need to calculate the total energy upstream of the obstruction and same downstream to calculate the energy loss.  However, I have more than one "total energy" reading for them both and was wondering how to find the total energy to do the question.  Do I average the energies or sum them?

Sum up all the energies entering and leaving the venturi. The Bernoulli Equation provides for input flows versus output.
