Explanation
In fluid dynamics, Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy.
The Bernoulli equation states that
where;
The principle is only applicable to isentropic flows. The equation is not valid when the flow is turbulent (the effect is irreversible) and for non-adiabatic processes (e.g. thermal radiation) because the effect is small.
