ABSTRACT
Problems and solutions presented in this chapter pertain to the applications of the mechanical energy equation, also known as the extended Bernoulli equation, which is found in the law of energy conservation in an incompressible flow. They include analyzing the free fall of steady water flow under gravity from a vertical pipe, analyzing an open channel water flow as a flow measuring device, analyzing the water flow in a variable-area frictionless duct, understanding the operation of a siphon, and tuning of the carburetor of a scooter. Detailed discussions of various concepts behind the problems and solutions presented in this chapter may be found in Fluid Mechanics: An Intermediate Approach by Bijay K. Sultanian, published by Taylor & Francis in 2015.
