Development of Bernoulli's equation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the development of Bernoulli's equation and the clarification of how pressure affects fluid particles. It emphasizes that pressure changes over time do not accelerate fluid particles because the same pressure acts uniformly on all sides. Instead, acceleration requires a pressure difference across the fluid particle at a given moment. The equation provided illustrates this relationship, highlighting the need for spatial pressure variation to induce acceleration. Understanding this concept is crucial for applying Bernoulli's principle effectively.

My book says:


\frac{\partial V}{\partial s}\frac{ds}{dt}=-\frac{1}{\rho}\frac{dP}{ds}-g\frac{dz}{ds} (1.28)


The changes of pressure as a function of time cannot accelerate a fluid particle. This is because the same pressure would be acting at every instant on all sides of the fluid particles. Therefore, the partial differential can be replaced by the total derivative in Eq. (1.28)


V\frac{dV}{ds}=-\frac{1}{\rho}\frac{dP}{ds}-g\frac{dz}{ds}

I can't understand the explanation. Please, help me.

The changes of pressure as a function of time cannot accelerate a fluid particle.

You need pressure to change as a function of space (position) to impart acceleration. That is you must have a a pressure difference at the same time.
 
Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'
Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...
This has been discussed many times on PF, and will likely come up again, so the video might come handy.

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
