In Bernoulli's equation, the term 1/2 v2 is called:

Correct answer: A. K.E. per unit volume

  • A. K.E. per unit volume
  • B. K.E.
  • C. K.E. per unit area
  • D. K.E. per unit length

Explanation

Bernoulli's equation formula is a relation between the pressure, kinetic energy, and gravitational potential energy of a fluid in a container. The formula for Bernoulli's principle is given as follows: p+1/2ρv2+ρgh=constant Where p is the pressure exerted by the fluid, v is the velocity of the fluid, ρ is the density of the fluid, and h is the height of the container. Here 1/2 v2 represents K.E. per unit volume.

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.
