Understanding Bernoulli's Principle
Asked by Prakash Sengupta · 2 years ago
What is Bernoulli's principle and how does it relate to fluid flow?
1 Answer
Bernoulli's principle states that in a steady flow of an incompressible, non-viscous fluid, the sum of pressure energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy per unit volume remains constant along a streamline.
Mathematically: P + ½Ïv2 + Ïgh = constant
Where:
P = pressure
Ï = density of fluid
v = velocity of fluid
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height above a reference point
This principle explains that as the velocity of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases, and vice versa.
