Bernoulli’s Principle

Bernoulli's Principle describes the conservation of energy in a flowing fluid, indicating that as the fluid's velocity increases, its pressure decreases, and vice versa. This principle is a cornerstone of fluid dynamics and plays a crucial role in the design and operation of waterworks systems. By understanding how velocity and pressure interact in a fluid, engineers can optimize the performance of pipelines, pumps, and valves, ensuring efficient and reliable water distribution.

Applications of Bernoulli's Principle:

In Waterworks:

Applied in designing pipelines, pumps, and valves to balance fluid velocity and pressure for effective system performance.
