Bernoulli's Equation for Horizontal Flow

Bernoulli's Equation for Horizontal Flow



$$P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho {v_1}^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho {v_2}^2$$
where:

P1   =   Static pressure 1   (Pa)

P2   =   Static pressure 2   (Pa)

ρ   =   Density   (kg/m³)

v1   =   Velocity 1   (m/s2)

v2   =   Velocity 2   (m/s2)

Equation Assumptions



  • The fluid is incompressible and non-viscous (ideal).
  • The system is in steady flow.
  • There are no energy losses.
