Question

State Bernoulli's principle.

✓

Answer

Where the velocity of an ideal fluid in streamline flow is high, the pressure is low, and where the velocity of a fluid is low, the pressure is high. OR At every point in the streamline flow of an ideal (i.e., nonviscous and incompressible) fluid, the sum of the pressure energy, kinetic energy and potential energy of a given mass of the fluid is constant at every point.
[Note: The above principle is equivalent to a statement of the law of conservation of mechanical energy as applied to fluid mechanics. It was published in 1738 by Daniel Bernoulli (1700 - 82), Swiss mathematician.]
