One of the conditions in using the Bernoulli equation is the requirement of
inviscid flow. However there is no fluid with zero viscosity in the world except
some peculiar fluid at very low temperature. Bernoulli equation or inviscid flow
theory is still a very important branch of fluid dynamics for the following
reasons:
(i)
(ii)
There is wide region of flow where the velocity gradient is zero and so the
viscous effect does not manifest itself, such as in external flow past an un-
stalled aerofoil.
The conservation of useful energy allows the conversion of kinetic and
potential energy to pressure and hence pressure force acting normal to the
control volume or system boundary even though the tangential friction
stress is absent.
It allows the estimation of losses in internal pipe flow.
(A) (i) and (ii)
(B)
(i) and (iii)
(ii) and (iii)
All of the above
(C)
(D)
The actual path traveled by an individual fluid particle over some period is called a (a) Pathline (b) Streamtube (c) Streamline (d ) Streakline (e) Timeline
(a) In a variety of environmental problems, it is common to find fluid motions
that have a cellular character; i.e. the fluid streamlines form closed loops in
the form of a cell. An example of a 2D cellular flow is
ū = sin(rx) cos(ry)î – cos(rx) sin(ry)j
(i) Is this flow incompressible? (Justify you answer.)
(ii) Calculate the vorticity.
(iii) Where is the magnitude of the vorticity highest, and where does it
vanish?

It accounts for the effect of the fluid particle moving (advecting or convecting) to a new location in the flow, where the velocity field is different. For example, nunan A Çengel | John M. Cinbala consider steady flow of water through a garden hose nozzle (Fig. 4-8). We define steady in the Eulerian frame of reference to be when properties at any point in the flow field do not change with respect to time. Since the velocity at the exit of the nozzle is larger than that at the nozzle entrance, fluid particles clearly accelerate, even though the flow is steady. The accel- eration is nonzero because of the advective acceleration terms in Eq. 4-9.
