APPLICATIONS OF
BERNOULLI EQUATION
WHAT IS BERNOULLI EQUATION ?
It was Proposed by the Swiss scientist Daniel Bernoulli (1700β1782).
βBernoulli's equation states that for an incompressible
and inviscid fluid, the total mechanical energy of the
fluid is constantβ .

Pitot tube
APPLICATION IN PUMPS:
Volute in the casing of centrifugal pumps
converts velocity of fluid into pressure
energy by increasing area of flow.
The conversion of kinetic energy into
pressure is according to the Bernoulli
equation.

EJECTORS:
Ejectors are designed to convert the pressure
energy of a motivating fluid to velocity
energy to entrain suction fluid β¦ and then to
recompress the mixed fluids by converting
velocity energy back into pressure energy.
Ejectors are composed of three basic parts:
a nozzle, a mixing chamber and a diffuser.
The diagram illustrates a typical ejector
PITOT TUBEPitot tube is a pressure measurement instrument
Used to measure fluid flow velocity.
Pitot tubes can be used to indicate fluid flow
velocity by measuring the difference between the
static and dynamic pressures in fluids.
The principle is based on the Bernoulli Equation.

CARBURETOR:
The carburetor works on Bernoulli principle: the faster air moves, the lower its static pressure, and the higher its dynamic pressure.
The throttle (accelerator) linkage does not directly control the flow of liquid fuel. Instead, it actuates carburetor mechanisms which meter the flow of air being pulled into the engine. The speed of this flow, and therefore its pressure, determines the amount of fuel drawn into the airstream.
SIPHONSiphon, a bent tube used to move a liquid over an obstruction to a lower level without pumping. A siphon is most commonly used to remove a liquid from its container. The siphon tube is bent over the edge of the container, one end in the liquid and the other outside end at a lower level than the surface of the liquid in the container.
