Physics 212 Lecture: "Bernoulli's Equation and viscosity".
Dec 11, 1997
- Bernoulli's equation describes the conservation of a quantity
I call "fluid energy per unit volume"
- One new concept is "fluid pressure potential energy",
which is simply related to a pressure difference
- Using Bernoulli's equation, you can predict the properties of
a steadily flowing fluid at one point, given some information about the
fluid elsewhere
- Viscosity is the fluid analog of friction
- Poiseuille's equation relates viscosity, the size and length of
a pipe to the volume flow rate through it
This lecture discusses material in Chapter 11 of Cutnell and Johnson.
