  2. Venturi effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_effect

    Video of a Venturi meter used in a lab experiment Idealized flow in a Venturi tube. The Venturi effect is the reduction in fluid pressure that results when a moving fluid speeds up as it flows through a constricted section (or choke) of a pipe. The Venturi effect is named after its discoverer, the 18th-century Italian physicist Giovanni ...

  3. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    The low pressure in the throat of a venturi can be explained by Bernoulli's principle; in the narrow throat, the air is moving at its fastest speed and therefore it is at its lowest pressure. An injector on a steam locomotive or a static boiler. The pitot tube and static port on an aircraft are used to determine the airspeed of the aircraft.

  4. Vacuum ejector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_Ejector

    In an ejector, a working fluid (liquid or gaseous) flows through a jet nozzle into a tube that first narrows and then expands in cross-sectional area. The fluid leaving the jet is flowing at a high velocity which due to Bernoulli's principle results in it having low pressure, thus generating a vacuum. The outer tube then narrows into a mixing ...

  5. Choked flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choked_flow

    If the fluid is a liquid, a different type of limiting condition (also known as choked flow) occurs when the venturi effect acting on the liquid flow through the restriction causes a decrease of the liquid pressure beyond the restriction to below that of the liquid's vapor pressure at the prevailing liquid temperature.

  6. Carburetor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carburetor

    Bernoulli's Principle applies (apart from friction and viscosity etc.) to both the air and the fuel, so that the pressure reduction in a venturi tends to be proportional to the square of the intake airspeed, and the fuel in the main jets will obtain a speed as the square root of the pressure reduction so the two will be proportional to each ...

  7. Lift (force) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_(force)

    Reduced upper-surface pressure and upward lift follow from the higher speed by Bernoulli's principle, just as in the equal transit time explanation. Sometimes an analogy is made to a venturi nozzle, claiming the upper surface of the wing acts like a venturi nozzle to constrict the flow. [53]

    From Nicole Kidman’s erotic thriller “Babygirl,” to a book of sexual fantasies edited by Gillian Anderson, this was the year the female sex drive took the wheel in popular culture.

  9. Siphon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphon

    Siphon principle In the flying-droplet siphon, surface tension pulls the stream of liquid into separate droplets inside of a sealed air-filled chamber, preventing the liquid going down from having contact with the liquid going up, and thereby preventing liquid tensile strength from pulling the liquid up. It also demonstrates that the effect of ...
