BERNOULLIS PRINCIPLE

> introduced by Daniel Bernoulli(1700-1782)

>states that When the velocity of the fluid is high, the pressure is low and when the velocity is
low, the pressure is high.
It is written as:

where
>points 1 and 2 lie on a streamline,
>the fluid has constant density,
>the flow is steady, and
>there is no friction.

In Continuity Equation, we have:


Along the stagnation streamline, we have:



Objective:
State Bernoullis principle and discuss how it works and how it is applied in many practical and
industrial applications.

Activity:
A. Explain the following.
1. Explain why are roofs of houses lifted when blown by strong winds.









2. How would you explain the rise of ocean waves during typhoon?



B. Solve the following problems.
1. If the pump at one end of the hose and the nozzle at the other end are at the same height, and if the
pressure at the nozzle is 1.00 atm, what is the pressure at the pump outlet?

2. Water flows at 0.563 m/s through a 3.20-cm diameter hose that terminates in a 0.295-cm diameter
nozzle. Assume laminar non-viscous steady-state flow. At what speed does the water pass through the
nozzle?

3. A fountain designed to spray a column of water 11.1 m into the air has a 1.33-cm-diameter nozzle at
ground level. The water pump is 3.14 m below the ground. The pipe to the nozzle has a diameter of 2.66
cm. Find the pump pressure necessary if the fountain is to operate as designed. (Assume laminar non
viscous steady-state flow).
