Can you please explain Bernoulli's equation?

[QUOTE="erobz, post: 6852830, member: 700856"] In a fluid with viscosity energy is converted to waste heat as it flows. In the diagram below, the left side is what Bernoulli's says about flow through a straight section of pipe. If that section is the entire system according to Bernoulli's you can get [I]any[/I] desired flowrate through that pipe at zero differential pressure. That is not consistent with reality, which is more like the right hand side-a statement of the first law that resembles Bernoulli's. If you desire more flow though that pipe in reality you must increase the differential pressure ( red bar labeled "s" for static head). That would then increase the energy lost (##T## for thermal energy) per unit length of the pipe. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1675915094894.png"]321971[/ATTACH] You might be able to put the section in a closed loop and ignore viscosity altogether and still be consistent. It's tricker business describing all the nuance in fluid mechanics than you might initially expect. You kind of learn as you go. Personally, I consider myself a "novice". So, if anything I'm saying isn't sitting well with you, please ask about it and if I can't explain it or if I'm incorrect someone here will. [/QUOTE]
