Venturi Vaccum increase in Momentum

AI Thread Summary
A Venturi vacuum increases fluid momentum by creating a pressure difference that accelerates the fluid as it passes through a constriction. The initial pressure difference leads to fluid flow, and as the fluid enters the constriction, its velocity increases while static pressure decreases, potentially falling below atmospheric pressure. This drop in pressure allows additional mass to enter the system, which, upon exiting the constriction, results in a higher overall momentum due to the increased mass flow rate. The mechanism by which the y-direction pressure difference contributes to x-direction momentum involves the conservation of mass and energy, where the additional mass flowing in enhances the momentum without a corresponding increase in external pressure. Clarification is sought on whether the velocities before and after the constriction are equal, as this impacts the understanding of momentum transfer.

I was hoping to get a more complete understanding how a Venturi vacuum increases the Momentum of the fluid.

I know Momentum is an awful way to pose this question but it really is important that it can be explained by momentum instead of conservation - Hence the post.

An initial pressure difference Sp1 -Sp2 gives rise to fluid flow with a momentum px=mx.vx As the flow enters a constriction its flow rate vx increases and a consequential fall in static pressure Sp3 , this may even fall below Atmospheric SpA and this pressure difference SpA -Sp3 will cause mass m+ to flow into the pipe in the y direction.

As it exits the constriction reverting to original radius its velocity reduces to the mean flow rate vx induced via the pressure difference Sp1 -Sp2 However this velocity is now carried by additional mass so overall px=(mx+m+).vx increases

This increase in px is not paid for by the external x direction Sp1 -Sp2 pressure difference but by the y direction pressure difference SpA -Sp3

I know this does but I want to understand how the y direction momentum py induced by the y direction pressure difference contributes to x direction momentum ?

Can someone please explain the mechanism is transferred ? as to me the y direction pressure difference (being random) has equal chance to reduce x momentum as increase it.

Bonus points for explaining the 15' requirement

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...
I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
