Method
Formula, when it applies, and when it does not
Solve the pressure change between two flow stations under the ideal steady, incompressible, frictionless Bernoulli relationship.
p₁ + ½ρv₁² + ρgz₁ = p₂ + ½ρv₂² + ρgz₂
When
- Steady flow
- Incompressible fluid
- Frictionless streamline
- No pump or turbine
Don’t
- This is Bernoulli’s ideal steady, incompressible, frictionless streamline relationship with no pump, turbine, or loss term. It excludes real pipe loss, fittings, separation, compressibility, cavitation, transient flow, and pressure-rating or equipment-selection decisions.
