Should I pursue airfoils with higher or lower peaks (I am doing wind power in science olympiad and am designing a mini wind turbine)?
I am a beginner in wind power, but I know the basics.
The Bernoulli effect: Air travelling over the curved edge travels more distance over the same amount of time than the straight side.
Due to this, ...

Can a fluid have more or less static pressure than atmospheric pressure in atmosphere?
We assume static pressure of a fluid coming out of a pipe or nozzle of gas turbine with high temperature and velocity is equal to atmospheric pressure, which confuses me for some point.
Does it mean ...

Increasing air velocity through F1 car diffuser
I am looking into F1 car aerodynamics for a course that I am taking.
I understand that because of Bernoulli's law, when the velocity increases, the pressure decreases, which is good for F1 cars if we ...

Pressure variation through reduction (Bernoulli) and pipe wall design
Let's say I have a pipe followed by a reduction and then another smaller diameter pipe continues. Using conservation of mass, the flow through the smaller diameter pipe will have higher velocity. If I ...

Isn't the Bernoulli equation just a special case of the Steady-flow equation?
This question is about the following two energy balance equations (assuming no energy input/output):
Bernoulli: $\frac{p}{\rho} +\frac {v^2}{2} + zg = const.$
Steady-flow: $u +\frac {p}{\rho} +\frac{...

Venturi Duct flow
When water flows through the converging side of a Venturi, why is it that the total head (experimental and calculated) is not constant? Could it be due to losses?
Also, why was it that a lot more ...
