Bernoulli's equation Applications
Answers
Answer:APPLICATION IN PUMPS: Volute in the casing of centrifugal pumps converts velocity of fluid into pressure energy by increasing area of flow. ... CARBURETOR: The carburetor works on Bernoulli principle: the faster air moves, the lower its static pressure, and the higher its dynamic pressure.
Explanation:
Answer:
The Pitot tube is used to measure air speed. See Tritton, page 420.
The Venturi effect arises from the combination of the continuity equation and the Bernoulli equation when an incompressible fluid flows through a constriction in a pipe: the speed must be higher and the pressure drops. See Tipler, page 350, and Tritton, page 121, for applications.
Atomizers and similar devices are described in Tipler, page 351, and How Things Work, page 174.
Hurricanes and tornadoes have strong winds that can literally lift a roof off, by the Bernoulli effect.
Flapping flags and the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability are treated by Tritton on page 262. It is important to realize that it is not enough to find a solution of the hydrodynamic equations: one must also check that the solution is stable.
