More from today's class

The Bernoulli Principle:

The pressure in a "moving stream" of fluid is LESS than that of the surrounding fluid.  Recall the demonstrations:

- blowing between the 2 soda cans
- the beach ball suspended by the air from the shop vac
- imagine putting your thumb over the nozzle from a garden hose

The last example relates to the "equation of continuity" -

A1 v1 = A2 v2

Meaning:  As the area (of the tube) gets smaller, the speed of the fluid gets greater.
