Lecture

Fluid Dynamics: Bernoulli Equation

Description

This lecture covers the Bernoulli equation in fluid dynamics, focusing on the assumptions and applications of the equation. The instructor explains the derivation of the Bernoulli equation, its components, and how it can be used to solve fluid mechanics problems. The lecture also includes a detailed example involving a free jet draining from a tank, emphasizing the importance of choosing a wise streamline and considering the quasi-steady assumption. Additionally, the concept of contraction coefficient in fluid flow is discussed, highlighting the relationship between the diameter of a hole and the resulting jet. The lecture concludes with a reminder to practice using the Bernoulli equation and other tools to effectively solve fluid dynamics problems.
