    In fluid mechanics what does pressure energy mean?

    U can see that in the equation u have written...the pressure energy (P) and potential energy (ro*g*h) are the same...isnt it?...really confused

    In fluid mechanics what does pressure energy mean?

    In Bernoulli equation we use pressure energy... Pressure* volume gives the unit of energy... But what does this mean... If someone says it is potential energy per unit volume, then what does datum head refers to?... Please help... Can't go ahead without having thorough knowledge about this..

    Undergrad Why pressure decreases with increase in velocity

    I saw someone saying that " if velocity of liquid molecules increases then they will have less time to collide with the walls and so pressure decreases " ... Is this correct... It seems to be logical...

    Undergrad Why pressure decreases with increase in velocity

    Pressure is defined as force per unit area..(i.e) the average force exerted by liquid molecules on the surface of the pipe per unit area... If i reduce the area then there should be more collisions and hence pressure should increase...

    Undergrad Why pressure decreases with increase in velocity

    We know that pressure= force/area... If the area of the pipe is reduced then the pressure must increase... But according to Bernoulli's, the pressure will decrease ... How is it?
