Applications of Bernoulli Theorem
Which of the followings are Applications of Bernoulli’s Theorem:
- Blowing off roofs during wind storm
- Aerofoil lift
- Bunsen burner
- Venturimeter
1.1 only
2.2 only
3.1, 2 only
4. 1, 2 , 3, 4
EXPLANATION
✅ 1. Blowing off roofs during wind storm
-
In a storm, wind speed over the roof increases → air pressure decreases on top.
-
Inside the house, pressure is relatively higher, pushing the roof upward.
-
This is explained by Bernoulli’s principle.
✔️ Yes, it’s an application.
✅ 2. Aerofoil lift (Airplane wing)
-
Air moves faster over the curved upper surface than below the wing.
-
Lower pressure above, higher pressure below → generates lift.
✔️ Classic application of Bernoulli’s Theorem.
✅ 3. Bunsen burner
-
Gas flows at high speed through a nozzle → pressure decreases.
-
This low pressure draws in air through side holes → helps mixing of air and gas.
✔️ Yes, Bernoulli’s principle explains this.
✅ 4. Venturimeter
-
Device used to measure flow rate of liquids in a pipe.
-
Works based on pressure difference created by fluid speed change at constrictions.
✔️ Direct application of Bernoulli’s Theorem.
