2.2.14 · D4· Physics › Fluid Mechanics › Bernoulli's equation — derivation from F = ma along streamli
Poore notes mein, aur water density lo (air ) jab tak koi problem alag na kahe. Neeche har symbol parent note mein banaya gaya tha; agar tumhe pata nahi kya hai, pehle woh padho.
Level 1 — Recognition
L1.1 — Teen terms ko naam do
Equation mein, batao ki teeno terms mein se har ek physically kya represent karta hai aur woh common unit kya hai jo teeno share karte hain.
Recall Solution
- = static pressure — pressure of the fluid mein unit volume per stored energy.
- = dynamic pressure — unit volume per kinetic energy.
- = gravitational (hydrostatic) term — unit volume per potential energy.
Teeno pascal unit share karte hain, aur — energy per volume. Yahi equality isliye hai ki teeno ko add kiya ja sakta hai: ye same tarah ki quantity hain.
L1.2 — Kaun si assumption tooti hai?
Har flow ke liye, naam batao ki Bernoulli ki chaar assumptions (steady, incompressible, inviscid, single streamline) mein se kaun si fail hoti hai: (a) honey ek slope pe creeping kar rahi hai; (b) wind ka ek gust jo second-to-second badalta hai; (c) air sound ki speed se do guna rush kar rahi hai.
Recall Solution
(a) Honey moti hai — inviscid fail hoti hai (zyada viscosity, internal friction se energy lost). Dekho Viscosity and Poiseuille Flow. (b) Velocity field time ke saath badal'ta hai — steady fail hoti hai (). (c) Sound ki speed ke paas/upar air ki density bahut badal'ti hai — incompressible fail hoti hai ( constant nahi).
L1.3 — Fast ya slow, high ya low?
Water steadily ek horizontal pipe se flow kar rahi hai. Ek narrow section mein speed zyada hai. Kya pressure wahan wide section se zyada hai ya kam? Ek sentence mein kyun.
Recall Solution
Kam. Horizontal ⇒ term dono points par same hai, isliye constant hai. Bada chota force karta hai. (Yahi Venturi Meter principle hai.)
Level 2 — Application
L2.1 — Torricelli exit speed
Ek bade open tank mein water upar khadi hai uske side mein ek chote hole se. Hole se nikalne wale water ki speed pata karo.
Recall Solution
Free surface (1) se hole (2) tak streamline. Dono atmosphere ke liye open hain isliye ; wide surface muskil se move karti hai isliye ; height mein drop hai. Same hai jaise koi object se drop kiya ho — dekho Torricelli's Law.
L2.2 — Pitot airspeed
Ek plane par ek Pitot Tube stagnation-minus-static pressure difference read karta hai. Air density hai. Airspeed pata karo.
Recall Solution
Stagnation muh par air rest mein aa jaati hai (); horizontal, isliye height cancel.
L2.3 — Constriction mein pressure drop
Water horizontally ek pipe mein , pressure se flow karta hai. Yeh ek narrow section mein enter karta hai jahan speed tak badh jaati hai. pata karo.
Recall Solution
Horizontal, isliye height cancel: Jahan flow speed up hoti hai wahan pressure drop hota hai.
Level 3 — Analysis
L3.1 — Continuity + Bernoulli saath mein (venturi)
Water horizontally ek Venturi Meter se flow karta hai: wide area , throat area . Wide section se throat tak measured pressure drop hai. Wide section mein speed pata karo.
Neeche figure dono points dikhata hai jo hum connect karte hain: wide section (point 1, mark kiya) aur throat (point 2, mark kiya). Red streamline woh single line hai jiske saath hum Bernoulli equate karte hain — ise steps follow karte waqt left se right dono labelled points se trace karo.

Recall Solution
Step 1 — speeds ko continuity se link karo (dekho Equation of Continuity). Same volume per second dono areas se guzarta hai — figure mein, wahi red streamline wide part aur throat dono ko thread karti hai: Step 2 — Bernoulli, horizontal (streamline ek height par rehti hai, isliye points 1 aur 2 ke beech cancel ho jaata hai): Step 3 — solve: (Tab agar puchha jaaye — figure mein throat par "fast" label.)
L3.2 — Height change matter karta hai
Water ek pipe mein flow karta hai. Point 1 par (low): , , . Point 2 par (higher, same pipe width isliye ): . pata karo.
Recall Solution
Same width ⇒ same speed ⇒ dynamic terms cancel; sirf height term shift karta hai: Rising fluid potential energy khareedne ke liye pressure "spend" karta hai — yahi Hydrostatic Pressure hai jo ek moving fluid ke andar reappear kar raha hai.
L3.3 — Answer ka sign
Ek student ek open venturi throat mein paani ke liye ka "pressure" compute karta hai. Negative pressure physically kya matlab hai, aur actually kya hota hai?
Recall Solution
Pehle, gauge vs absolute. Gauge pressure atmosphere ke relative measure kiya jaata hai — yahi ek tyre gauge read karta hai, aur yeh negative ho sakta hai (atmospheric se neeche). Absolute pressure ek perfect vacuum se measure kiya jaata hai () aur physically zero se neeche nahi ja sakta, kyunki zero absolute pressure ka matlab pehle se hi "koi molecules push nahi kar rahe" hai. Isliye ek predicted absolute pressure of impossible hai: iske liye fluid ko pull karna padega, aur liquids zyada tension sustain nahi kar sakte. Actually, jaise water ki vapour pressure (ek chota sa positive number) ki taraf girta hai, water boil/cavitate karta hai: vapour bubbles form hote hain aur smooth streamline toot jaati hai. Bernoulli ki assumptions (incompressible, single continuous streamline) tab fail ho jaati hain. Isliye ek negative absolute pressure ek warning flag hai ki flow us tak pahunchne se pehle cavitate karta hai — yeh koi real pressure nahi hai.
Level 4 — Synthesis
L4.1 — Wing par lift (order of magnitude)
Air () ek wing ke upar se aur neeche se move karta hai. Pressure difference (bottom minus top) estimate karo, aur isliye area ke wing par lift force.
Recall Solution
Top aur bottom ko (approximately) equal-height points on nearby streamlines treat karo, har ek par Bernoulli apply karo. Pressure difference: Lift . (Dekho Aerodynamic Lift. Real lift ke liye circulation theory chahiye, lekin Bernoulli estimate sign aur rough size capture karta hai.)
L4.2 — Fat hole wala draining tank
Ek tank jiska surface area hai, mein paani upar hai ek hole se jiska area hai. Kyunki hole tiny nahi hai, assume mat karo. Sahi exit speed pata karo.
Recall Solution
Continuity: . Bernoulli (dono surfaces atmosphere par, drop ): Naive Torricelli se compare karo — correction tiny hai (), isliye yeh justify karta hai ki kyun usually kaam karta hai.
L4.3 — Siphon
Ek siphon paani ko tank se upar ek bend se lift karta hai jo tank surface ke upar hai, phir neeche ek outlet tak jo tank surface se neeche hai. Pata karo (a) outlet speed, (b) bend ke top par absolute pressure. Atmospheric pressure , uniform width ki tube.
Figure teen points label karta hai jo hum use karte hain: tank surface (1), bend top (2) height par, aur outlet (3) height par. Red tube streamline hai; do vertical double-arrows (surface se bend) aur (surface se outlet) mark karte hain. Part (a) ke liye surface→outlet path ke saath padho, aur part (b) ke liye surface→bend-top path ke saath.

Recall Solution
Uniform width ⇒ continuity se tube mein speed har jagah same hai; use kaho. (a) Outlet speed. Tank surface (1, , , ) se outlet (3, , ) tak streamline — figure mein poora red path: Outlet speed sirf source ke neeche drop par depend karta hai (neeche wala double-arrow) — bend height speed ke liye cancel ho jaata hai. (b) Bend ke top par pressure (figure mein point 2, , speed ). Surface (1) se top (2) tak: Positive (vapour pressure se upar), isliye siphon kaam karta hai. Agar zero ki taraf jaata, water column toot jaata — siphon ki maximum lift height.
Level 5 — Mastery
L5.1 — Venturi meter ek manometer read kar raha hai
Ek horizontal venturi paani carry karta hai. Wide area , throat . Do sections ke beech ek U-tube manometer mercury height difference dikhata hai (mercury density ). Volume flow rate pata karo.
Recall Solution
Step 1 — manometer se pressure difference. U-tube mein, do arms do pipe sections se connect hain. Neeche wali mercury surface ke level par, dono sides se pressure match karni chahiye (same fluid, same height ⇒ same pressure — Hydrostatic Pressure). Arm 1 ke neeche jaao: plus ek water column; arm 2 ke neeche jaao: plus ek chota water column plus height ka ek mercury column. Inhe balance karo aur common water heights cancel karo to mercury column pressure difference ki jagah khada rehta hai, lekin humein woh paani subtract karna hai jo mercury displace karta hai doosri side mein: isliye appear hota hai kyunki ek side par mercury doosri side par paani ke against balanced hai; sirf density difference net pressure produce karta hai. Numerically: Step 2 — continuity: . Step 3 — Bernoulli, horizontal: Step 4 — solve: Step 5 — flow rate (): Yeh lagbhag litres per second hai.
L5.2 — Siphon kitni maximum height tak lift kar sakta hai
Parent ke inviscid model use karke, source ke upar kitni bend height par ek water siphon fail hota hai? Assume karo outlet source se negligible distance neeche hai (isliye tube speed limit par), atmospheric pressure , aur failure tab hoti hai jab bend pressure water ki vapour pressure tak pahunchta hai.
Recall Solution
Bend par, surface (1) se bend top (2) tak pressure with : Failure point ke liye set karo: Yahi ceiling hai jo limit karti hai kitna high suction akela paani raise kar sakta hai — Hydrostatic Pressure ke saath ek khoobsurat cross-check.
L5.3 — Do streamlines, do constants
Paani steadily aur horizontally flow karta hai. Streamline A ek fast region se guzarti hai (, ). Streamline B, parallel aur same height par, ek slow region se guzarti hai (, ). Dikhao ki Bernoulli "constant" unke beech differ karta hai, aur woh extra condition batao jisme yeh equal hota.
Recall Solution
Horizontal ⇒ term drop karo. Har line par Bernoulli sum ("constant") evaluate karo: Kyunki , Bernoulli constant generally alag alag streamlines par alag hota hai — bilkul wahi parent-note warning. Tum line A se koi value line B par nahi le ja sakte. Equality ke liye extra condition: agar flow additionally irrotational ho (kahin bhi koi swirl nahi), to wahi constant fluid mein har jagah hold karta hai, sirf har streamline ke saath nahi. Inhi do lines ke alag-alag constants hain, isliye yeh flow rotational hai.
Recall Poore page ka ek-line recap
Continuity speeds ko tie karta hai; Bernoulli ek streamline ke saath pressure ↔ speed ↔ height trade karta hai; signs watch karo (negative pressure = cavitation) aur kabhi streamlines hop mat karo jab tak flow irrotational na ho.
