MEF 360: A tutorial chapter (Chapter 4: the Bernoulli equation and its applications) for MEF360 Fluid Mechanics II, Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, University of Buea Faculty of Engineering and Technology (Instructor: Dr. AZEUFACK Ulrich). The original document contains 22 exercises; 8 representative, fully self-contained numerical problems were transcribed and solved in full, covering: gage pressure estimation from a water jet's rise height; Pitot-static aircraft-velocity measurement at altitude; piezometer/Pitot-tube velocity determination in a pipe; pressurized-tank discharge rate through an orifice; stagnation pressure on an aircraft nose (including a discussion of compressibility effects at high Mach number); maximum height of a pressurized water jet; and two orifice-flow problems relating velocity, flow rate, and submerged depth via Bernoulli's equation. The remaining conceptual-question and diagram/derivation-heavy exercises were omitted for scope.

From this paper

In cold climates, water pipes may freeze and burst if proper precautions are not taken. In such an occurrence, the exposed part of a pipe on the ground ruptures, and water shoots up to 34 m. Estimate the gage pressure of water in the pipe. State your assumptions and discuss if the actual pressure is more or less than the value you predicted.
A Pitot-static probe is used to measure the velocity of an aircraft flying at 3000 m. If the differential pressure reading is 3 kPa, determine the velocity of the aircraft.
