Does it matter if one uses gauge instead of absolute pressures in applying Bernoulli's equation. Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, it does not matter if one uses gauge instead of absolute pressures in applying bernoulli's equation, provided the atmospheric pressure at the two points where bernoulli's equation is applied are significantly different.

Statement-1 : Bernoullis equation is based on energy conservation. Statement-2 : Bernoullis equation can only be applied if the flow is streamlined. Statement-3 : Bernoullies equation can be applied evern if the flow is not streamlined as total energy is always conserved.

using the illustration when both surfaces 1 and 2 are exposed to the atmoshere, P_1 and P_2 are gauge pressure , and h_1 and h_2 are heights . The Bernoulli equation for this situation is h_1+P_1 /W+V_1^2/"2a"=h_2+P_2/W+V_2^2/"2a" The value of P_1 and P_2 are such that
