How come this statement is invalid

Bernoullis principle states that the pressure in a fluid is

directly proportional to its velocity

Bernoulli’s Principle

  • The sum of pressure energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy per unit mass is always constant for the streamline flow of a non-viscous and incompressible fluid.

Consider,

A1 − Area of cross-section at B

P1 − Pressure at A1

h1 − Height of B

h2 − Height of D

A2 − Area of cross-section at E

P2 Pressure at A2

v1 − Speed at B

v2 − Speed at D

BC = v1Δt

DE = v2Δt

Δt − Time interval

Work done (BC), W1 = P1A1 (v1Δt) = P1ΔV

Work done (DE), W2 = P2A2 (v2Δt= P2ΔV

Work done on fluid = W1 − W2

= (P1 − P2ΔV

Change of gravitational potential energy, ΔU = ρgΔ(h2 − h1)

Change in kinetic energy

According to work-energy theorem,

General expression for Bernoulli’s equation,

  • Bernoulli’s equation does not hold for non-steady flows.
