Which equation is derived by considering the motion of a fluid element along a stream line? Correct Answer Euler’s equation
Concept:
Euler's equation of motion:
- Euler's equation for a steady flow of an ideal fluid along a streamline is a relation between the velocity, pressure, and density of a moving fluid.
- It is based on Newton's Second Law of Motion which states that if the external force is zero, linear momentum is conserved.
- The integration of the equation gives Bernoulli's equation in the form of energy per unit weight of the following fluid.
It is based on the following assumptions:
- The fluid is non-viscous (i,e., the frictional losses are zero)
- The fluid is homogeneous and incompressible (i.e., the mass density of the fluid is constant)
- The flow is continuous, steady and along the streamline.
- The velocity of the flow is uniform over the section.
- No energy or force (except gravity and pressure forces) is involved in the flow.
- As there is no external force applied (Non-viscous flow), therefore linear momentum will be conserved.
