Bernoulli's principle describes the relationship between pressure and velocity of a fluid flow. It states that as the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases. This principle can be applied to understand blood flow and heart attacks. Specifically, when arteries become constricted due to plaque buildup, the blood flow through the constriction increases in velocity and decreases in pressure. If the pressure drops too low, parts of the artery can collapse, cutting off blood flow and causing a heart attack.
3. INTRODUCTION
It is a principle formulated by Daniel Bernoulli.
He is known for his application of mathematics to
mechanics, especially fluid mechanics.
Bernoulli’s principle, Early kinetic theory of gases,
thermodynamics.
4. WHAT IS BERNOULLI’S
PRINCIPLE?
For a streamline fluid flow, the
sum of the pressure(p), the
kinetic energy per unit
volume(pv^2/2) and the
potential energy per unit volume
(pgh) remain constant.
P + (pv^2/2) + pgh = constant
(Bernoulli’s equation)
Bernoulli’s principle can be
derived from the principle of
conservation of energy.
5. PRINCIPLE OF COUNTINITY
According to the Bernoulli’s
principle from equation of continuity
is high for region of less cross
sectional area.
For stream line flow of an ideal fluid
through horizontal tube, the pressure
increase where velocity decreases
and vice versa.
That an increase in velocity of fluid
occurs simultaneously with a
decrease in the fluid potential
6. Examples of Bernoulli’s theorem
There are many day to day life situation explains
Bernoulli’s principle-
Working of an aero plane
Blowing off roofs
Bunsen burner
Motion of two parallel boats
Heart attacks and blood flow
7. Heart attack and blood flow
Bernoulli’s principle also explains about the reason for heart attack.
Human heart is a muscular organ.
And the left ventricle pumps the oxygen and nutrients to all parts
of the body.
The arteries inside the human heart get constricted due to
accumulation of plague on its inner walls and the blood flows
through this constriction with high speed lower the pressure inside
the artery.
8. It may collapse due to external pressure and heart
exerts more pressure in that blocked region and
forces to pass and blood rushes through the
openings with increasing speed.
Internal pressure drops and once again leading to
collapse and causes heart attack.
