Bernoulli's Equation: Bernoulli's equation is a principle of fluid dynamics that describes the behavior of a fluid moving along a streamline. It states that the total mechanical energy of the fluid remains constant if the fluid flow is ideal. The equation is given as:
\(\frac{P}{\rho g} + \frac{{{v^2}}}{{2g}} + Z = Constant\)
Where:
- P is the pressure energy per unit volume
- ρ is the density of the fluid
- v is the fluid velocity
- g is the acceleration due to gravity
- h is the height above a reference level
The assumptions of Bernoulli's equation include:
- The fluid is ideal (I): The fluid is considered to be ideal, meaning it is inviscid (no viscosity) and has no internal friction.
- The flow is incompressible (III): The density of the fluid remains constant throughout the flow.
- The flow is steady: The flow parameters (velocity, pressure, etc.) do not change with time at any point in the fluid.
- The flow is along a streamline: Bernoulli's equation applies to fluid particles moving along a streamline.
- There is no energy loss: No energy is lost due to friction, turbulence, or other dissipative effects.
- The flow is irrotational: There are no vortices or rotational effects in the fluid flow.
