Limitations of Bernoulli's Equation 01) The Velocity of Liquid particle in the centre of a pipe is maximum and gradually decreases

towards the walls of the pipe due to friction. Thus while using Bernoulli's Equation, only the Mean Velocity of the Liquid should be taken into account because the Velocity of Liquid particle is not uniform. As per assumption it is not practical. 02) There are always some external Forces acting on the Liquid, which affects the Flow of Liquid. Thus while using Bernoulli's Equation, all such external forces are neglected which is not happened in actual practice. If some Energy is supplied to or extracted from the Flow, same should also take into account. 03) In Turbulent Flow some Kinetic Energy is converted into Heat Energy and in a Viscous Flow some Energy is lost due to Shear Forces. Thus while using Bernoulli's Equation all such losses should be neglected, which is not happened in actual practice. 04) If the Liquid is flowing through curved path, the Energy due to Centrifugal Forces should also be taken into account.
