Q & A

What is Bernoulli's equation used for in fluid mechanics?

Bernoulli's equation is used to describe the conservation of energy in a flowing fluid. It helps relate the pressure, velocity, and elevation in a streamline flow, assuming ideal conditions.

What is a streamline in fluid mechanics?

A streamline is a line that represents the path a particle follows as it moves through a fluid. In the context of swimming, it's the path traced by a swimmer moving through the water.

How is Bernoulli's equation formulated?

Bernoulli's equation is formulated as: P/ρg + V²/2g + z = constant, where P is the pressure, ρ is the fluid density, V is the velocity, z is the height, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

What does the term 'static pressure' mean in Bernoulli's equation?

Static pressure refers to the pressure in a fluid that is at rest or moving without changing speed, as seen in the form of P + ρgZ in Bernoulli's equation.

What happens to the pressure and velocity as fluid flows through a syringe?

As fluid moves through a syringe, the pressure at the starting point is high, and the velocity is low. As the fluid exits the syringe, the pressure decreases and the velocity increases.

What does the term 'dynamic pressure' represent in Bernoulli's equation?

Dynamic pressure represents the kinetic energy per unit volume of a fluid and is expressed as ρV²/2.

How can Bernoulli’s equation be applied to everyday life?

Bernoulli’s equation can be applied in various real-life scenarios, such as fluid flow in pipes, the functioning of a syringe, and even in weather systems. As long as the fluid flow is not turbulent, Bernoulli’s equation holds.

What does Bernoulli’s equation say about the total energy in a fluid system?

Bernoulli's equation indicates that the total energy (pressure energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy) remains constant along a streamline in an ideal, incompressible fluid.

How does the concept of energy change in the syringe example?

In the syringe example, energy transitions from pressure energy (static pressure) to kinetic energy (dynamic pressure) as the fluid accelerates from the syringe’s bottom to the top.

What is the significance of the 'z' term in Bernoulli's equation?

'z' represents the potential energy per unit weight of the fluid due to gravity, essentially the height of the fluid. It plays a role in determining the energy associated with the fluid’s position in a gravitational field.
