Bernoulli’s equation cannot be applied when the flow is:
Bernoulli’s equation cannot be applied when the flow is:
Show Hint
Recognize the assumptions of Bernoulli’s equation to determine when it is valid.
Updated On: Jan 17, 2026
- Rotational
- Turbulent
- Unsteady
- Smooth
Show Solution
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Bernoulli’s equation is valid exclusively for incompressible, steady, and irrotational flow. When flow is rotational, energy conservation along a streamline is violated, thereby invalidating the equation's use.
