Bernoulli Equation

Definition of Bernoulli Equation

Bernoulli’s Equation states: In the steady flow of a thick, incompressible fluid of density ρ, the pressure P, the fluid speed v, and the elevation y at any two points (1 and 2) are related by

P₁+ (0.5)ρv₁² + ρgy₁ = P₂+ (0.5)ρv₂² + ρgy₂

Daniel Bernoulli discovered this phenomenon.
