Euler's equation is given as dp=−ρvdvThis equation applies to an incompressible and in-viscid flow where ρ=constant. In a streamline, in between two points 1 and 2, the above Euler equation can be integrated as p2∫p1dp=−ρv2∫v1vdvp2−p1=−ρ(v222−v212)⇒p1+12ρv21=p2+12ρv22This can be written asp+12ρv2=constant for a streamline.For an rotational flow the value of constant is changing from streamline to another.For irrotational flow,the constant is same for all streamlines and p+12ρv2=constantthroughout the flow. Physical significance of Bernoulli's equation is that when the velocity increases, the pressure decreases and when the velocity decreases, the pressure increases.
Example: Calculate the velocity at a point on the airfoil, where the pressure is0.4×105N/m2. The free stream velocity is 70m/s in a standard sea level conditions.
Solution: At sea level conditions ρ∞=1.23kg/m3 and p∞=1.01×105N/m2p∞+12ρv2∞=p+12ρv2v=√2(p∞−p)ρ+v2∞v=√2(1.01−0.4)×1051.23+(70)2⇒v=322.63m/s.Example: In an inviscid, incompressible flow of air along a streamline, the air density is 0.002377 slug/ft3. At a point on the streamline pressure and velocity are 2000 lb/ft2 and 15 ft/s, respectively. Downstream at other point on the streamline the velocity is 150 ft/s. What is the pressure at this point.
