Imagine a block of ice sliding down the water slide at some velocity. The block has a kinetic energy equal to one-half its mass times its velocity squared, or. The block also has a certain potential energy described by. Engineers can set the Bernoulli equation at one point equal to the Bernoulli equation at any other point on the streamline and solve for unknown properties.
Students can illustrate this relationship by conducting the A Shot Under Pressure activity to solve for the pressure of a water gun! For example, a civil engineer might want to know how much pressure changes in a pipe between the top of a building and the ground.
Watch this activity on YouTube. Bernoulli's equation has a wide application of uses, from wing design to pipe flow. According to the Venturi effect, as fluid velocity increases, the pressure decreases and vice versa.
Bernoulli's equation is a mathematical representation of this. Bernoulli's equation can be understood though manipulation of the energy of a flowing fluid.
By setting Bernoulli's equation equal at two different points along a streamline, one can calculate the fluid conditions at one point by using information from another point. Bernoulli Principle: In fluid dynamics, Bernoulli's principle states that for an inviscid flow, an increase in the speed of the fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy.
Named after Dutch-Swiss mathematician Daniel Bernoulli who published his principle in his book Hydrodynamica in Also called the Bernoulli effect. Venturi effect: The reduction in fluid pressure that results when a fluid flows through a constricted section of pipe.
As a fluid's velocity increases, its pressure decreases, and vice versa. Named after Italian physicist Giovanni Battista Venturi — Matching: To help students with this lesson and its associated activity, create a list of physics equations that they have already studied, such as kinetic energy, potential energy, work, kinematics equations.
Randomly write the physics terms on the left side of the board and the matching halves of the equations out of order on the right side of the board. As a class, have students match the correct sides together.
Matching examples for pre-lesson assessment activity. Have all students complete the first problem in class and review the answer together. Have students complete the second problem as homework. Discussion Question: During the next class period, lead a five-minute discussion asking students what they learned from the homework assignment. You may want to use PowerPoint slides of Figure 1. Simple Pipe Flow, and Figure 2. Reservoir Example, with the class, as provided in the attached Bernoulli Flow Graphics.
Show students an interactive animation of the Bernoulli Principle in the form of a cut-away view of a pipe with a shape that you can change using your computer's mouse, resulting changes in the pressure, cross sectional area and velocity of the fluid flowing through the pipe, which are graphed below the pipe.

Physics for Scientists and Engineers: a Strategic Approach. Second edition. Munson, B. The phenomenon described by Bernoulli's principle has many practical applications; it is employed in the carburetor and the atomizer, in which air is the moving fluid, and in the aspirator, in which water is the moving fluid.
In the first two devices air moving through a tube passes through a constriction, which causes an increase in speed and a corresponding reduction in pressure. As a result, liquid is forced up into the air stream through a narrow tube that leads from the body of the liquid to the constriction by the greater atmospheric pressure on the surface of the liquid. At the constriction, the speed must increase to allow the same amount of air to pass in the same amount of time as in all other parts of the tube.
When the air speeds up, the pressure also decreases. Past the constriction, the airflow slows and the pressure increases. Bernoulli's principle can be used to calculate the lift force on an aerofoil , if the behaviour of the fluid flow in the vicinity of the foil is known.
The thing is, the concept of energy wasn't around in when Bernoulli derived his formula. The term "energy" was first used by Thomas Young in , and it would be another thirty years or so before the law of conservation of energy was clearly established.
So, Bernoulli was about a century too early to use conservation of energy. Bernoulli actually derived the equation from first principles i. Newton's laws of motion and if you examine this derivation it becomes clearer why Bernoulli's principle works.
Basically, you look at a small volume of fluid and the forces on that volume. If the pressure is decreasing along the direction of travel then there is more pressure behind than in front. On the other hand, if the pressure is increasing, then there's more pressure in front than behind and the fluid slows down. Thinking about Bernoulli's principle this way makes it intuitively clear why it happens - of course the fluid will accelerate if there's more pressure behind than in front.
Unfortunately, to derive the equation this way means you need to know calculus so it's rarely taught this way in high school science classes. That's a shame, because the physics is fairly simple if you think about it this way. Many students struggle to find an intuitive reason why faster moving fluid has lower pressure - why should the pressure drop just because it's moving faster?
And if you express Bernoulli's principle as "faster moving fluid has lower pressure" it's mysterious why this should be so. But if you think of it as "pressure differences cause the fluid to accelerate and gain speed" it's obvious why it works. From an intuitive perspective, the usual statement of Bernoulli's principle "faster moving air causes lower pressure" gets it exactly backwards - the change in speed is a ''result'' of pressure differences, not the ''cause''.
Textbooks stating that the higher streaming velocity is the reason for the low pressure are wrong. It is the other way round. The low pressure is the reason for the higher velocity of the streaming air. It sounds like you are not asking about Bernoulli's principle, which describes energy conservation in a fluid, but about why fluids move faster in the thin section of a pipe.
This is not Bernoulli's principle, it is just something someone might have mentioned when talking about Bernoulli's principle.
If you watched the fluid for an entire year, more than 50 million liters would pass through the fat part, but only 5 million liters through the thin part. But they're connected, so everything that flows through the fat part flows through the thin part. Where did the missing 45 million liters go?
