Bernoulli’s Theorem: , pressure, and elevation along a streamline. The theorem is based on the conservation of energy for an ideal fluid flowing along a streamline with no external work or heat transfer. The general form of Bernoulli’s theorem is given by: where: – P is the pressure of the …
Reynolds number and its significance
Reynolds Number Osborne Reynolds introduced the Reynolds number (Re) in the late 19th century as a dimensionless quantity used in fluid mechanics to predict flow patterns in various fluid flow situations. This parameter helps determine whether the flow of a fluid, whether liquid or gas, will be laminar or turbulent. …
