Bernoulli's equation is a fundamental equation in fluid dynamics that describes the relationship between the pressure, velocity, and height of a fluid moving in a closed system.
The derivation of Bernoulli's equation involves applying the principles of conservation of mass and energy to a fluid element in motion, and simplifying the resulting equations to obtain the final form of the equation.
The derivation of Bernoulli's equation assumes that the fluid is incompressible, inviscid, and steady, and that the flow is irrotational and in the absence of external forces such as gravity.
Bernoulli's equation is significant in fluid dynamics as it provides a simple and useful tool for analyzing and predicting the behavior of fluids in various applications, such as in pipes, pumps, and airplanes.
No, Bernoulli's equation is only applicable to ideal fluids, which are fluids that do not experience viscosity or frictional forces. Real fluids, such as air and water, do not strictly follow Bernoulli's equation but can be approximated under certain conditions.
