Question

A fluid of density $\rho$ is flowing in a pipe of varying cross-sectional area as shown in the figure. Bernoulli's equation for the motion becomes:

Accepted Answer

Bernoulli's principle states that for the streamline flow of an ideal (incompressible and non-viscous) fluid, the sum of pressure energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy per unit volume remains constant at every point along a streamline.

Mathematical Expression:
$$P + \frac{1}{2}ho v^2 + ho gh = 	ext{constant}$$

Where:
*   $P$ is the static pressure.
*   $\frac{1}{2}ho v^2$ is the kinetic energy per unit volume.
*   $ho gh$ is the potential energy per unit volume.
