  2. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    Bernoulli's principle is only applicable for isentropic flows: when the effects of irreversible processes (like turbulence) and non-adiabatic processes (e.g. thermal radiation) are small and can be neglected. However, the principle can be applied to various types of flow within these bounds, resulting in various forms of Bernoulli's equation.

  3. Shower-curtain effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shower-curtain_effect

    The most popular explanation given for the shower-curtain effect is Bernoulli's principle. [1] Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in velocity results in a decrease in pressure. This theory presumes that the water flowing out of a shower head causes the air through which the water moves to start flowing in the same direction as the ...

  4. Gravity Discovery Centre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_Discovery_Centre

    Bernoulli Ball; Bernoulli's principle explains that an increase in the speed of air produces a decrease in static pressure. The principle is named after Daniel Bernoulli who published it in his book Hydrodynamica in 1738. In this interactive display, when the ball moves to the side it is pushed back toward the centre of the air flow.

  5. Diffuser (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuser_(thermodynamics)

    Frictional effects during analysis can sometimes be important, but usually they are neglected. Ducts containing fluids flowing at low velocity can usually be analyzed using Bernoulli's principle . Analyzing ducts flowing at higher velocities with Mach numbers in excess of 0.3 usually require compressible flow relations.

    Original – Daniel Bernoulli, around 1720 to 1725 Reason Daniel Bernoulli, a prominent mathematician and physicist. For details see the lead section of his article and Bernoulli's principle which is used today in fluid mechanics and aerodynamics (flight). The image can use a slight touch-up (some of the bright dots can be removed and the crop ...

  7. Carburetor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carburetor

    The simplest form of carburetor, and mainly used in older cars, works on just Bernoulli's principle with the pressure difference from the pressure in the float chamber which is fed from ambient air compared to the static pressure at the fuel entry point and thus is using the second method mentioned above. Mainly used in newer cars is a similar ...

  8. Vacuum ejector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_Ejector

    In an ejector, a working fluid (liquid or gaseous) flows through a jet nozzle into a tube that first narrows and then expands in cross-sectional area. The fluid leaving the jet is flowing at a high velocity which due to Bernoulli's principle results in it having low pressure, thus generating a vacuum. The outer tube then narrows into a mixing ...

  9. Venturi mask - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_mask

    The mechanism of action is variously described with reference to the venturi effect or Bernoulli's principle. [7] However, a fixed performance oxygen delivery system works on the principle of jet mixing. Where the flow of moving oxygen meets the static air, viscous shearing causes a predictable amount of the air to be dragged into the flow. [7] [8]
