Question

Bernoulli equation is valid for which process?

(a) Reversible

(b) Irreversible

(c) Reversible & Irreversible

(d) None of the mentioned

I have been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

My query is from Mechanical Energy Balance topic in section Energy Balances that Include the Effects of Chemical Reaction, Ideal Processes, Efficiency and the Mechanical Energy Balance and Heats of Solution and Mixing of Basic Chemical Engineering

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) Reversible

Explanation: Bernoulli equation is valid for the process in which loss of mechanical energy is zero, which is reversible.
