Bernoulli Equation - a. The Bernoulli equation is a popular equation used in the field of fluid dynamics. It describes the behavior of fluid as a function of pressure, velocity, height, gravity, and density. Clinicians often use a simplified form of the equation shown below that only accounts for the pressure difference between 2 points and the velocity at the \( 2^{\infty} \), downstream, point. It can be used in diagnosing patients who may have symptoms of aortic valve stenosis, where their aortic valve area shrinks and reduces blood flow. Mild aortic valve stenosis is said to occur if the pressure drop is \( >15 \mathrm{mmHg} \). A group of patients have an echocardiography performed on them and their resulting downstream velocities are \( 2.10,0.65,2.40,1.80,0.20,0.32 \), and \( 1.20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \), which of these patients would you suspect may have aortic valve stenosis?
