Hey guys, just have a question because I'm having a little trouble understanding like how exactly to use the volume flow rate with bernoulli's equation. (wasnt sure which section to put this in but is more of a concept question using homework examples) Like the volume flow rate i understand...

hi experts This ought to be obvious but it sounds wrong. If I have a pipe carrying butane at a constant flow rate at room temperature fed from a liquid gas bottle without a restrictor so that the gas is almost condensing, then have a constriction in the pipe to accelerate the gas, will...

I have a few questions regarding Bernoulli's equation: 1) Nomenclature: can "stagnation pressure" and "total pressure" be used interchangeably? I realize that at a stagnation point, p_total = p_stag = p_static, but can you always say p_total = p_stag (along a given streamline)? 2) Does...

Hi guys, I'm building a science exhibit demonstrating Bernoulli's Principle for a competition. It's similar to the setup found here () at 2:51 to 2:57. So, I tried a ping pong ball and a hair blower. Doesn't work. Firstly, the hair blower is pretty weak, so when the setup is in upright...

Blood flow... Relating the Continuity of flow equation (A1v1 = A2v2) with Bernoulli's equation, with Poiseuille's equation. Continuity of flow equation tells us this: when the area decreases, the velocity increases in order to maintain a constant flow rate. Bernoulli's equation tells us...

This is more of a general question rather than a specific problem. I just want to verify that my understanding of these principles is correct: As far as I know all three are used to calculate pressure difference. Pascal's is used for fluid not in motion, like the typical manometer set-up...

Recently, I was discussing airfoils with a friend. I thought I was being clever and said "No, Bernoulli's Law isn't what's keeping it in the air - that's a fallacy. If it were Bernoulli's Law keeping it in the air, then airplanes would not be able to fly upside down. What keeps a plane in the...
