All of the following are applications of Bernoulli's effect EXCEPT

Correct answer: D. Vacuum cleaner.

  • A. Aerofoil.
  • B. Atomizer.
  • C. Venturi meter.
  • D. Vacuum cleaner.

Explanation

The correct answer is vacuum cleaner. Bernoulli's principle explains how an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or potential energy. An aerofoil, an atomizer, and a venturi meter all utilize this principle to function in their respective ways, creating pressure differences that result in lift, misting, or flow measurement. However, a vacuum cleaner simply creates a vacuum to draw in air and debris, which does not rely on Bernoulli's principle but rather on creating a pressure difference through mechanical means.

About Bernoulli's Equation

Bernoulli’s equation applies conservation of energy to steady flow of an incompressible, non-viscous fluid along a streamline: pressure, kinetic and gravitational terms have a constant total. It explains pressure-speed changes in narrow pipes, Venturi meters and lift, and differs from continuity because it relates pressure as well as velocity and height.
