Which outcome regarding pressure occurs when fluid velocity increases, as defined by Bernoulli's equation?

A)Pressure decreases; energy conservation maintained
B)Pressure increases; energy is dissipated
C)Pressure remains constant; viscosity increases
D)Pressure oscillates rapidly; cavitation occurs

💡 Explanation

Pressure decreases because Bernoulli's equation describes the inverse relationship between fluid velocity and pressure; higher kinetic energy reduces internal pressure. Therefore, pressure drops rather than increases, because energy conservation is maintained rather than dissipated.
