Bernoullis Equation:
V12 P1 V2 P
+ + z1 = 2 + 2 + z2 (1)
2g g 2g g
If horizontal tube leveled correctly, then z1= z2, and Equation 1 is then simplified to
V12 P1 V22 P2 V12 P1 V22 P2
+ + z1 = + + z2 + = + (2)

V12 V2 P
= velocity head = hv Total head, hT = hs + hv= +

I. Comment on the validity of Bernoullis equation for the convergent and divergent
sections.
Velocity increases in the converging zone due to the change in are of the tube; when
the tube diverges the fluid does not contort to the shape of the tube, creating pockets
of space. As this space fills up it creates eddies and shear stress, causing the fluid to
lose energy in the process, creating a head loss.
