Practice question
Question
Why does Bernoulli’s principle not apply to fluids with high viscosity?
Explanation
Bernoulli’s principle assumes no energy loss due to friction, which is valid for non-viscous fluids. High viscosity causes frictional losses between fluid layers, converting kinetic energy into heat, thus violating the energy conservation assumption.
