Bernoulli's principle and work energy theorem

In summary, for a streamline flow of ideal liquid (non-viscous) incompressible, the sum of pressure, kinetic and potential energy per unit volume remains constant, as described by the equation P+1/2roV2+ROGH=constant. This is derived by considering a fluid flowing in a pipe with varying cross sections, where the total work done is equal to the difference in pressure times volume between two regions. The change in gravitational potential energy is calculated using the density, acceleration due to gravity, and difference in height between the two regions, while the change in kinetic energy is calculated using the density and

for a stream line flow of ideal liquid (non-viscous) imcompressible the sum of pressure energy per unit volume kinetic energy per unit volume , potential energy per unit volume remains constant
mathematically
P+1/2roV2+ROGH=constant
consider a fluid flowing in a pipe of various crossections
we consider 2 regions ,
at region 1 the workdone =P1V
workdone at region 2 =P2V
total workdone =P2V-P1V
= V(P1-P2)
Change in gravitational potential energy
U=ro×g×V(H2-H1)
the change in kinetic energy
= 1/2×ro×V(V2-V1)
where v1 and v2 are the speed of liquid
aplling work energy theorem
(P1-P2)V=ro×g(H2-H1) + 1/2ro(V2-V1)
P1+ro×gh1+1/2rov1=P2+ro×gh2+1/2rov2
that is P+ro×gh+1/2ro×v= constant

There's nothing wrong with your derivation, but your statement is wrong. It's "pressure" not "pressure energy per unit volume".

i have stuyied that pressure energy it not only prssure
that is all the energies are constant at every point of the crossection

I've never heard of "pressure energy." Pressure is defined as force per unit of area -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure

ok ok i understand but ,it is the energy that the pressure exerts at every point of the fluid in a pipe that's why it is pressure energy per unit volume

It sounds wrong, but it is a common descriptor for the term:

It's probably just an attempt to find a less cumbersome label to the term than energy (work) arising from force and distance, per unit volume, so the force comes from pressure. Energy...from...pressure. Pressure energy. Or maybe it is less confusing that saying work per unit volume (similar to the other terms, kinetic energy per unit volume and potential energy per unit volume) when all you see in the equation is pressure. Either way, the descriptor is what it is so that people recognize where it came from:
f*d/v=p

If the other two terms are *something* energy per unit volume, then the "pressure" term must be too, otherwise they couldn't be in an equation together.

In any case, naman007, I'm not seeing a question anywhere in any of your posts...do you have one?

1. What is Bernoulli's principle?

Bernoulli's principle states that as the speed of a fluid (such as air or water) increases, its pressure decreases. This is due to the conservation of energy, where the total energy of a fluid remains constant, but is converted from potential energy to kinetic energy as the fluid speeds up.

2. How does Bernoulli's principle apply to flight?

In regards to flight, Bernoulli's principle explains how the shape of an airplane's wings allows for the air moving over the top of the wing to travel faster than the air moving underneath. This creates a difference in pressure, with lower pressure on top of the wing and higher pressure on the bottom, resulting in lift.

3. What is the work-energy theorem?

The work-energy theorem states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. This means that the net force applied to an object times the distance it moves (or the work done) is equal to the change in its speed or velocity.

4. How do Bernoulli's principle and the work-energy theorem relate to each other?

Bernoulli's principle and the work-energy theorem are related in that they both involve the conservation of energy. Bernoulli's principle deals with the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy in fluids, while the work-energy theorem deals with the conversion of work done to an object into its change in kinetic energy.

5. What are some real-world applications of Bernoulli's principle and the work-energy theorem?

Some real-world applications of Bernoulli's principle include airplane flight, lift in sailboats, and the operation of carburetors in cars. The work-energy theorem is used in many areas of physics, such as calculating the amount of work needed to move an object, determining the speed of objects in collisions, and analyzing the motion of objects in roller coasters.
