Practice question · True or false

Bernoulli's equation P+12ρv2+ρgh=constantP + \frac{1}{2} \rho v^{2} + \rho gh = \text{constant} applies to ideal, incompressible, steady, irrotational flow along a streamline.

Hints
  1. The equation is an energy statement along a single streamline.
  2. Each of the stated conditions rules out a specific real-fluid effect.
Show the answer

True

Why

Bernoulli's equation holds under these four conditions; real fluids deviate due to viscosity and turbulence.
