BERNOULLI AND ENERGY E Q U AT I O N S his chapter deals with two equations commonly used in fluid mechanics: the Bernoulli equation and the energy equation. The Bernoulli equation is concerned with the conservation of kinetic‚ potential‚ and flow energies of a fluid stream‚ and their conversion to each other in regions of flow where net viscous forces are negligible‚ and where other restrictive conditions apply. The energy equation is a statement of the conservation of energy principle and is applicable
