Bernoulli's Equation

088 - Bernoulli’s Equation

In the video Paul Andersen explains how Bernoulli’s Equation describes the conservation of energy in a fluid. The equation describes the pressure energy, potential energy, and kinetic energy of a fluid at a single point. A sample problem illustrating the fact that as the velocity of a fluid increases the pressure energy decreases. A discussion and application of the continuity equation is also included.

There are people who are very knowledgeable yet can't dumb things down for the layman, but you sir have a gift of teaching /explaining your explanations are simple and clear.

[danialk]

I love you.

helping me since middle school, and I'm about to apply to medical school soon

[CocoGras]

Thank you so much. I was having trouble grasping the equation, but you really broke it down to an understandable level. You help make physics enjoyable, much appreciation.

[Mr_raqi]

WOW in ten minutes on youtube i learned more than what our teacher taught us in 5

[arinthrax]

This is the best video on Bernoulli's equation i have found. Straightforward and no nonsense.

[sandybearr]

i wish my university teacher could have just taught me like this, much easy to understand and remember!

[lohitamgothu]

That was a simple and perfect explanation, sir. Thumbs up.!!

[Goabnb]

A very good video thanks. You explain the concept, with examples, clearly and concisely. You don't go too fast or too slow, no ums and ahs everywhere, and no PC text-to-speech.

Although it's been 5 years since this video was made, but it will still a reference, in five minutes I learn what I did in 5 years. That what you have when the instructor knows what he's talking about, he can explain it simply. Really great job.

I rarely leave a feedback on a YouTube tutorial. But this one really helped me understand the complexity of Bernoulli's equation. Big thanks :>

[Dylan]

I'm not even in AP physics and I still loved this.

[TurdFurgeson]

This is possibly the clearest explanation of Bernoulli's equation and its application I have ever seen. I honestly don't know how anyone can top this.

[joaolucasmirandafontelles]

What a great lesson! Thank you, Mr. Andersen and Bozeman Science Channel

[zwhitchcox]

Wow, you really explained that in an intuitive manner, and very quickly without any fluff or anything, but still kept it interesting. Great video, thanks!

7:15 Tiny error (Rho should be Kg/m^3 and not Kg/m^2).

[querrythis]

I am retired now but still an avid learner. How I wish YouTube existed in my day. I studied to pass exams but the many lousy teachers and lecturers I had made it all seem so difficult. Thank you very much.

[mirelaratu]

I am romanian, I live and study in Italy and I had to listen a video in english to understand Bernoulli's equation! Thank you so much!

[RobHolland]

how can 12 people thumbs down this video? one of the clearest and most concise videos I have seen

[crank]

Amazing explanation! I never though to apply Bernoulli's equation to a ball moving through air, as I didn't know that air had the properties of a fluid even though it's a gas. I actually came here in my mission to learn how airfoils work and how air speed affects pressure. Thank you!

[kertatthedisco]

Sir, great explanation! You helped shed light regarding Bernoulli's equation. Although, for the sake of other viewers, can I clarify the following? Around 8:00, shouldn't (0.5)(1000)(0.9^2) be equal to 405, not 1620? Also, the unit for the density of water should be kg/m^3 (instead of kg/m^2). I know those might just be typographical, but it's better to have it corrected right? Thank you!
