Teen classic devices jo Bernoulli's equation ko ek measuring tool mein badal dete hain. Ek idea master karo — pressure ko speed ke saath trade karo — aur teeno khud nikal aate hain.


0. Wo tools jinse hum sab derive karte hain

Hum sirf in dono ko combine karenge. Aur kuch zaroorat nahi hai.


1. Pitot tube — flow ki speed measure karna

Derivation (scratch se). Same height par ek streamline lo, door upstream wale point (1) se jahan speed aur static pressure hai, stagnation mouth (2) tak jahan aur pressure hai: Yeh step kyun? Heights equal hain, isliye cancel ho jaata hai; point 2, stagnation ki definition se rest par hai.

Toh dynamic pressure hai . Solve karo:


2. Venturi meter — pipe mein flow rate measure karna

Derivation. Horizontal pipe (), wide section (1) aur throat (2): Continuity deta hai . Substitute karo: Yeh step kyun? Humne ko replace kiya taaki sirf ek unknown bache. ke liye solve karo aur se multiply karo paane ke liye:

3. Orifice flow (Torricelli) — fluid tank se drain hona

Derivation. Surface (1) upar, hole (2) depth par. Dono atmosphere ke liye open hain isliye . Agar hole area tank area, toh : Yeh step kyun? Pressures cancel ho jaate hain; surface speed continuity ke dwara (); hole ko height reference set karo.


Forecast-then-Verify

Recall Compute karne se pehle predict karo
  1. Agar venturi pressure drop double ho jaaye, kya double hoga? Nahi, isliye yeh se badhega.
  2. Do holes, ek depth par aur ek par. Speed ratio? (kyunki ).
  3. Same ke liye water vs air mein Pitot — kaunsa zyada dega? Air, kyunki aur air halki hai.

Common mistakes (steel-manned)


80/20 — sabse zyada yield karne wale takeaways

  • Har device = Bernoulli + Continuity, phir speed ke liye solve karo.
  • Pitot: . Venturi: . Orifice: .
  • Zyada tez fluid ⇒ kam pressure. Woh arrow yaad karo aur teeno re-derive kar sakte ho.

Recall Feynman: 12-saal ke bachche ko explain karo

Socho ek hallway mein daudo. Narrow part mein tumhe speed up karna padta hai aage badhne ke liye (woh continuity hai). Jab tum bhagte ho, side walls par kam push karte ho (low pressure) — jab tum khade hote ho toh wall par zyada lean karte ho (high pressure). Ek pitot tube waise hai jaise hawa mein seedha haath aage karo: tumhe ek hard push feel hota hai jo batata hai hawa kitni tez hai. Ek venturi woh narrow hallway hai: squeeze karne se paani tez bhaagta hai aur halka press karta hai, aur hum woh read karte hain. Ek orifice ek paani ki bucket mein hole hai: hole jitna gehra hoga, paani ko utna zyada "fall" milega, toh woh utni tezi se bahar niklega — bilkul waise jaise usi depth se ek pathar giraaya jaaye.

Flashcards

Stagnation point kya hota hai?
Ek aisa point jahan fluid ko rest par la diya jaata hai (), kinetic energy extra (stagnation) pressure mein convert ho jaati hai.
Pitot tube speed formula
, jahan dynamic pressure hai.
Venturi mein throat pressure kyun kam hota hai?
Continuity chhhote throat par zyada speed force karta hai; Bernoulli phir constant total energy ke liye kam pressure require karta hai.
Venturi volume flow rate
.
Torricelli's law batao
Depth par hole se efflux speed hai, bilkul se free fall jaisi.
Kya orifice speed hole area par depend karti hai?
Nahi — speed hai; area sirf flow rate badlata hai.
Orifice jet ki horizontal range (hole depth H, height y above floor)
.
Agar venturi double ho, kaise change hoga?
se badhega, kyunki .
Wo do equations jo teeno devices derive karte hain
Bernoulli (const) aur Continuity ().
ko manometer height mein convert karna
density wale fluid column ke liye.
