    Bernoulli Equation: Conservation of Energy

    Uploaded by

    pepe.books
    The Bernoulli equation relates pressure, velocity, and elevation of a fluid. It states that an increase in flow velocity results in a decrease in pressure. This explains the counterintuitive lowering of pressure in regions of constricted flow. However, the Bernoulli equation only applies to steady laminar flow and neglects losses from turbulence and fluid friction. It does not fully describe transient or non-ideal fluid behavior.

    Bernoulli Equation
    The Bernoulli Equation can be considered to be a statement of the conservation of energy
    principle appropriate for flowing fluids. The qualitative behavior that is usually labeled with
    the term "Bernoulli effect" is the lowering of fluid pressure in regions where the flow
    velocity is increased. This lowering of pressure in a constriction of a flow path may seem
    counterintuitive, but seems less so when you consider pressure to be energy density. In the
    high velocity flow through the constriction, kinetic energy must increase at the expense of
    pressure energy.

    concepts
    Steady-state flow caveat: While the Bernoulli equation is stated in terms of universally valid
    ideas like conservation of energy and the ideas of pressure, kinetic energy and potential
    energy, its application in the above form is limited to cases of steady flow. For flow through
    a tube, such flow can be visualized as laminar flow, which is still an idealization, but if the
    flow is to a good approximation laminar, then the kinetic energy of flow at any point of the
    fluid can be modeled and calculated. The kinetic energy per unit volume term in the equation
    is the one which requires strict constraints for the Bernoulli equation to apply - it basically is
    the assumption that all the kinetic energy of the fluid is contributing directly to the forward
    flow process of the fluid. That should make it evident that the existence of turbulence or any
    chaotic fluid motion would involve some kinetic energy which is not contributing to the
    advancement of the fluid through the tube.

    It should also be said that while conservation of energy always applies, this form of parsing
    out that energy certainly does not describe how that energy is distributed under transient
    conditions. A good visualization of the Bernoulli effect is the flow through a constriction, but
    that neat picture does not describe the fluid when you first turn on the flow.

    Another approximation involved in the statement of the Bernoulli equation above is the
    neglect of losses from fluid friction. Idealized laminar flow through a pipe can be modeled by
