Class 11PhysicsFluid Mechanics and Surface TensionBernoulli's Theorem and Applications of Bernoulli's Theory
EasyCan Bernoulli's equation be used to describe the flow of water through a rapid in a river? Explain.
(N/A) No.
Bernoulli's equation cannot be used to describe the flow of water through a rapid in a river because the flow is turbulent. Bernoulli's principle is derived based on the assumption of steady,incompressible,and non-viscous flow along a streamline. In a river rapid,the water flow is highly irregular,chaotic,and turbulent,which violates these fundamental assumptions.

View SolutionWater is flowing steadily through a horizontal tube of non-uniform cross-section. If the pressure of water is $4 \times 10^4 \ N/m^2$ at a point where the cross-section is $0.02 \ m^2$ and the velocity of flow is $2 \ m/s$,what is the pressure at a point where the cross-section reduces to $0.01 \ m^2$?
