Bernoulli's Equation
Describes the behavior of fluid under varying conditions of flow and height, stating that total mechanical energy along a streamline is constant for an incompressible, frictionless fluid.
P
Pressure of the fluid in Bernoulli's equation.
ρ (rho)
Density of the fluid in Bernoulli's equation.
v
Velocity of the fluid in Bernoulli's equation.
g
Acceleration due to gravity in Bernoulli's equation.
h
Height above a reference point in Bernoulli's equation.
Bernoulli's Principle
States that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure or potential energy.
Application in Aviation
Understanding lift and the design of aircraft wings using Bernoulli's equation.
Venturi Effect
Utilized in carburetors and atomizers to draw fluid into a spray, based on Bernoulli's principle.
Hydraulic Engineering Applications
Helps in the design of channels and determining flow rates, informed by Bernoulli's equation.
Concept of Conservation of Energy
The principle applied in deriving Bernoulli's equation, considering the work done on the fluid element relative to its energy changes.
Total Mechanical Energy
The sum of pressure energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy along a streamline, as expressed in Bernoulli's equation.
