Abstract

Bernoulli’s equation represents a cornerstone in fluid dynamics, describing the interdependence of pressure, velocity, and elevation along a streamline. Rooted in the principle of energy conservation, it offers essential insights into the behavior of thermodynamic and aerodynamic systems. This study investigates the application of Bernoulli’s differential form to analyze variations in velocity and pressure within fluid flows. The derivation, underlying assumptions, and practical implications of the equation are discussed in detail, with emphasis on its use in aerodynamic analyses (e.g., lift and drag estimation) and thermodynamic applications (e.g., flow behavior in nozzles and diffusers). Through selected case studies and computational simulations, the utility of Bernoulli’s equation in engineering design and system analysis is demonstrated. Furthermore, the study addresses the equation’s limitations, particularly in scenarios involving compressible and viscous flows, and outlines relevant extensions to enhance its applicability under such conditions.
