    Bernoulli's principle states that as the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases. This document provides an overview of Bernoulli's principle and gives four examples of its application: 1) insecticide sprayers use differences in air pressure and velocity to propel insecticide, 2) Bunsen burners use differences in pressure to draw in air for combustion, 3) airplane wings use higher-pressure air under the wing to generate lift, and 4) car spoilers use lower pressure above the wing to generate downward force.

    2.6  Bernoulli's Principle

      Bernoulli's principle  

      In a steady flow of a fluid, fluid pressure decreases as fluid velocity increases and vice versa.

    Application of Bernoulli's principle

    1. Insecticide sprayers
    The piston is pushed in, high air velocity on nozzle
    The air pressure in the nozzle is lower than atmospheric pressure
    Atmospheric pressure acts on the surface of the insecticide
    Insecticide moves up through the tube

     
    2. Bunsen burner
    Gas flowing at high velocity, resulting in a lower pressure inside than atmospheric pressure
    Air from outside is drawn in, mixed with gas
    Gas and air mixture enables the burning of gas

     
    3. Plane wing (aerofoil)
    Air moves at higher velocity over the wing, resulting in lower pressure
    Air moves slower under the wings, resulting in a higher pressure
    Pressure below wing is higher than the pressure at the top
    Resultant force acting upwards (lift)

     
    4. Car spoiler ( inverted aerofoil)
    Air moves at lower velocity over the wing, resulting in higher pressure
    Air moves faster under the wings, resulting in a lower pressure
    Pressure below wing is lower than the pressure at the top
    Resultant force acting downwards
