Asked in ETEA MDCAT 2010 2010Moderate

The effect of the decrease in pressure with the increase in speed of the fluid in the horizontal tube gives

Correct answer: B. Bernoulli's effect

  • A. Torrielll's effect
  • B. Bernoulli's effect
  • C. Venturis effect
  • D. Doppler effect

Explanation

Bernoulli's principle states that as the speed of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by the fluid decreases. This principle applies to the flow of fluids in various situations, including in horizontal tubes. When the fluid flows through a tube and its speed increases, the pressure decreases.

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.
