22.5. Theoretical Derivations of Bernoulli's Equations

Try these first

1. 1.

   What are the three main assumptions of Bernoulli's Equations?

   Hint

   Remember the acronym SIW!

2. 2.

   How does the velocity of fluid change with pressure according to Bernoulli?

   Hint

   Think of how a garden hose works.

3. 3.

   What does Bernoulli's Equation describe?

   • The relationship of pressure and volume
   • Conservation of energy in fluid dynamics
   • Effects of temperature on fluid

   Hint

   Think of fluids moving through pipes.

4. 4.

   True or False? Bernoulli's Equation can be applied to any type of fluid flow.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider if friction exists in the fluid.

5. 5.

   Discuss how Bernoulli's Equation applies to explain why hurricanes can lift roofs off houses. Provide calculations if necessary.

   Hint

   Consider the areas of different pressure levels.

6. 6.

   Propose a hypothetical scenario where Bernoulli’s Equation fails. Explain the context and reasoning behind your example.

   Hint

   Think of scenarios with lots of viscous flow.
