(N/A) Bernoulli's equation is based on the assumption of an ideal fluid. Its limitations are as follows:
$1$. It is valid only for incompressible,non-viscous,and steady (streamline) flow of fluids.
$2$. It does not account for energy loss due to viscosity or friction between fluid layers.
$3$. It ignores the energy dissipated as heat during fluid flow.
The uses of Bernoulli's equation include:
$1$. It is used to calculate the velocity of efflux (Torricelli's Law).
$2$. It explains the working principle of a Venturi meter,which is used to measure the flow rate of a fluid.
$3$. It explains the aerodynamic lift on an airplane wing.
$4$. It is used in the design of atomizers and Bunsen burners.

$A$ train with cross-sectional area $S_t$ is moving with speed $v_t$ inside a long tunnel of cross-sectional area $S_0$ $(S_0 = 4S_t)$. Assume that almost all the air (density $\rho$) in front of the train flows back between its sides and the walls of the tunnel. Also,the air flow with respect to the train is steady and laminar. Take the ambient pressure and that inside the train to be $p_0$. If the pressure in the region between the sides of the train and the tunnel walls is $p$,then $p_0 - p = \frac{7}{2N} \rho v_t^2$. The value of $N$ is. . . . .
