AI Thread Summary
In a closed system of pipes with stationary water, pressure is uniform throughout. When water begins to circulate due to a pump, pressure changes occur, with the highest pressure immediately after the pump and the lowest just behind it. This pressure variation is due to the energy added by the pump and the friction losses in the system. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for effective system design and operation. Proper management of pressure differentials is essential for maintaining system efficiency.

If I have a closed system of pipes with water standing still under so and so pressure, the pressure will be the same at all positions around the system, right? But what if I set motion to the water so that i circulates with a pump. Will the pressure now be highest right after the pump and then lowest right behind the pump?

Yes, that is correct.
 

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
