Bernoulli's theorem of conservation in a nozzle spraying to atmosphere

AI Thread Summary
Bernoulli's theorem can be applied to the scenario of water flowing from a pump through a pipe and out of a nozzle. The pressure gauge in the pipe measures the pressure before the nozzle, while the nozzle's outlet pressure is typically atmospheric pressure. According to Bernoulli's principle, the pressure at the nozzle outlet is considered zero gauge pressure because it is exposed to the atmosphere. The working example referenced indicates that the pressure at the outlet is zero due to the conversion of pressure energy into kinetic energy as the fluid exits the nozzle. Understanding this relationship is key to applying Bernoulli's theorem correctly in fluid dynamics.

Hi there, I'm having a problem behind the theory of bernoulli's theorem. Can it be applied in an application where water flows from a pump into a pipe with x diameter and out of a nozzle with y diameter to atmosphere. There is a pressure gauge on said pipe. There is a nozzle screwed into this pipe with no pressure gauge on it.

Is the gauge pressure at the nozzle atmospheric pressure, 0 or is it what can be calculated using bernoulli's theorem of conservation of energy?

Ive just found this worked example. It says that the pressure at the outlet is 0. Why is this?

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
