What i know is that the Bernoulli equation is applied only along a streamline. Is it correct to say that eductors work on the Bernoulli equation?

An eductor, also known as an eductor-jet pump or ejector, is a device that uses the Bernoulli equation to create a low pressure region and draw in a fluid or gas from its surroundings.
An eductor works by using a high-pressure fluid or gas to create a low-pressure region, which then draws in a fluid or gas from its surroundings. This is possible due to the Bernoulli equation, which states that as the velocity of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases.
The Bernoulli equation is a fundamental principle of fluid dynamics that relates the pressure, velocity, and elevation of a fluid in motion. It states that as the velocity of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases, and vice versa.
No, the Bernoulli equation is not the only principle at work in an eductor. Other principles, such as the continuity equation and conservation of energy, also play a role in the functioning of an eductor.
Eductors have a wide range of applications in various industries, including chemical processing, wastewater treatment, and firefighting. They are commonly used for mixing and diluting fluids, pumping liquids and gases, and creating vacuum or low-pressure regions.
