Bernoulli equation Definition and 137 Threads

Hello everyone, I’m working on a project where I need to use a cylindrical tube with a vacuum pump to suck in mechanical parts. The tube approaches the part, and the vacuum generated by the pump draws the part into the tube. I want to understand how to link the key parameters of the system: the...

If this formula were to be correct, if we use the liquids in the Venturimeter and the tube to be of the same density, the velocity would come out to be zero which makes no sense. I calculated the formula and got a slightly different numerator. Am I correct?

TL;DR Summary: We know that the fluid pressure at the exit of the pipe is Patm but what about before the exit? How can we calculate that pressure using Bernoulli's equation. Hello everyone☺️. Please help, i'm seriously stuck 🫠🙇‍♀️ When learning about bernoulli's equation there's a classic...

The problem: Its solution: I am sure that the velocity ##v## can be calculated by using Bernoulli's equation, but I fail to calculate it. I don't know what pressure is at the hole - is it ##h_2 \rho g## or ##(h_2 - h_1) \rho g##? The pressure of the water "under" the hole is ##h_2 \rho g##...

I’ve been confused about the term static pressure for quite some time. Different sources use very different definitions. From the problems perspective, it’s usually some external pressure. For example we are having a pool with tiny hole on the bottom which makes water level decrease and it flows...

Hi, I am trying to map out the forces that act on a raincap installed at the end of a pipe, but I have ran into a problem where I am getting 2 different equations depending on the method that I use. I'm definitely missing something here and I was hoping someone is about to point it out to me...

There is a classical example when teaching Bernoulli equations to get the exit velocity of a fluid leaving through the bottom of a tank. If we consider no energy is lost due to friction, the exit velocity turns out to be ##v=\sqrt {2gh}##. I'm having trouble processing the fact that exit speed...

Hello everyone; Please need some help to check if my calculation are correct (and if possible some explantation) Bernoulli's equation between point 1 and 3 is given by: P_1+1/2 ρv_1^2 + ρgh_1 = P_3+1/2 ρv_3^2 + ρgh_3 P_1 = P_(atm ) v_1= 0 m/s h_1= 0.875 m P_3 = P_(atm ) v_3= ? m/s h_3= 0...

Can you please explain why is there work done by F2(on photo of textbook explanation of Bernoully equation (photo below)). I can understand that W2 is caused by F2 which is gravitational force(screenshot photo from YT). But for the explanation in textbook pipe is straight, no height...

Hi, everyone! Doing some fluid flow/Bernoulli tasks. Ok, so the task is: «A hose with a radius of 0,035m is connected to a nozzle, which reduces the radius of the hose to 0,018m (2). The hose carries (qv) 0,0075 m3/sec and the totalpressure (3) in the wide section (1) is 211 kPA. The density of...

Good afternoon, I am struggling to find the solution at Q2 and Q3. For Q2 the absolute pressure at point 1 is at the bottom of the tank, so do i need to use the formula P=Patm+qgh ? If using this formula I've got a bigger number than 100Pa. Same issue for Q3, isn't the pressure at point 2...

Hey all, I recently took an aerodynamics exam that included the question "Please Explain how the Bernoulli Equation can be Applied Inside a Boundary Layer". Now, it is my belief that the Bernoulli equation, defined by my textbook as P+0.5ρV2=ℂ, requires inviscid flow to be properly applied...

Hi, I´m quite lost and would appreciate guidance I have solved for 2 tubes using Bernoulli´s equation before, but now how does it change? Is it really going to rise water level inside? Why?

In classical and continuum mechanics if we want to find equation of motion of the body we draw force diagram and apply Newton's 2nd law. In continuum mechanics, equation of motion actually refers to a special point of the body known as center of mass (COM) which can be proven by definition of...

Work - energy principle states that work done by net force acting on the body equals change in kinetic energy of the body. We are talking about continuum mechanics. This principle is usually introduced in mechanics of solid bodies. For us to describe the motion of the body, it is enough to know...

Work - Energy principle states that work of resultant force or sum of work of all forces acting on some system equals change in kinetic energy of the system. For inviscid fluid flowing in a pipe such theorem can be used to derive Bernoulli's equation because as fluid flows it is subjected to...

I have read this in my textbook about principles of operation of centrifugal compressor: "The impeller is rotated at high speed by the turbine and air is continuously induced into the center of the impeller. Centrifugal action causes it to flow radially outwards along the vanes to the impeller...

For a steady, non-viscous and incompressible flow, one can apply both Bernoulli's principle (no potentials) as $$p+\frac{\rho v^2}{2} = p_t$$ where ##p##, ##\rho,##, ##v##, and ##p_t## are static pressure, density, flow velocity, and total pressure, respectively, and continuitiy principle as...

I am trying to calculate the exit velocity of a nozzle (0,25Ø) that is connected to a high pressure syringe (10 BAR), however I cannot understand why Hagen-Poiseuille will have a higher exit velocity then Bernoulli when HP take viscosity into account.

Let's start with a horizontal tube with a constant diameter. I'm not sure if it's important, but let's assume it's frictionless. I will have some fluid flowing in this tube and if it's important, we can make the fluid incompressible, inviscid, irrotational, etc. To create a flow in the tube...

Hi all! This is my first post here, so hopefully I am not in violation of any rules or etiquette. I'm looking to derive an equation for Reynolds number as function of pressure for a pinhole leak in a pressurized gas line. The line is regular air and is pressurized to 1 atmosphere and is leaking...

I've google all the keywords like "eductor", "ejector", "Venturi pump". All of them are the mechanism or applications that utilize "Venturi Effect". All of them are trying to explain the "suction effect" by saying that restriction area makes the fluid's velocity higher and hence lower pressure...

So the Bernoulli's Equation.. My question : Are the terms on the left hand side equal to the total mechanical energy? So can I rewrite this equation as ?

Hello, I think I understand how Bernoulli equations works but I am clearly uncertain on some aspects of its application. For example, let's look at the figure below: 1) The static pressure is ##60## ##psi## from the city water supply. There is not flow (tap closed) so the pressure at the...

In one pipeline with pressure P1 area A1 decrease to A2 we want to find P2 in area A2 we have bernoulli equation p1+1/2 ρv^2=p2+1/2ρv^2 with low of conservation of mass A1V1=A2V2 that we can write V2=A1/A2 V1 if we keep in bernouli equation we have P2=P1+1/2V2(1-(A1/A2)^2) my quation is...

Would it be because I'm comparing two different streams as opposed to two portions of the same stream?

so far I have found the velocity 1 and 2 by dividing the volume flow rate over the area which I got from pi x dia squared/4 my v1 = 1.01859m/s and v2= 2.82942m/s i have then figured out a pressure for the 15mm pipe which i got an answer of 2.71 bar however i am stuck on the rest of the question...
