Fanno flow demonstrates that friction does not perform work, as there is no heat transfer or shaft work involved. Friction affects the fluid by slowing it down at the wall, converting kinetic energy into internal energy, which results in a decrease in dynamic temperature while the static temperature increases. However, the total temperature and total enthalpy remain constant throughout the process, confirming that the total enthalpy (h0) remains unchanged.
