Good old' Bernoulli

Folks were working with Bernoulli's Principle or equation in class.  B Block springboarded from their pressure with depth lab into the ideas associated with fluids in motion.  We. looked at types of fluid flow, the ideal fluid model and then looked at how conservation of mass in moving fluids is this field by the relationship outlined by the continuity equation.  We'll go into conservation if energy in fluid systems tomorrow. with was the ground trod by C, E and F Blocks.  Those classes reviewed Bernoulli's  Principle and the continuity equation and pressed forward with Bernoulli's equation.  Bernoulli's equation is a mathematical statement that energy in a fluid system is conserved.  Energy can be bound In kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy and pressure.  The energy can be converted from one form to another any number of times and not all forms may be present at different points in the system.  We'll review all of this and the associated homework tomorrow, so do your best working with the ideas and formulas. Then, it is on to properties and behaviors of gases.
