Fluid Flow Continuity and Bernoulli’s Equation
Ideal Fluid Nonviscous Flow is steady Incompressible Irrotational
Conservation of Mass Mass In Mass Out
Varying Area Mass Out Mass In
Flow Rate Continuity Equation Av is the volume flow rate
v1 = 1 m/s v2 =? d2= 2 cm d1= 8 cm
Bernoulli’s Equation
Conservation of Energy?
Constant v Constant y
Pressure and Speed Bernoulli’s Equation indicates that as the speed of a fluid increases the pressure decreases.
Static Problem Fluid not moving A = 0.02 m2 P= 202 kPa A = 0.05 m2
Fluid Flow A = 0.02 m2 P= 202 kPa A = 0.05 m2 v = 4 m/s P= ? kPa 2 m
