Bernoulli and Piezometric Line

This document defines key terms used in analyzing fluid flow, including: - Total head, which includes pressure, velocity, and elevation components - Piezometric head or hydraulic head, which is the water level including pressure effects - Static head, which is the pressure head measured by a manometer - Dynamic head, which is the velocity pressure component of total head Equations are provided relating these terms, including the Bernoulli equation for analyzing changes in total head between points along a fluid system. Diagrams illustrate the relationship between piezometric, static, and total heads.

Bernoulli and piezometric line [12]

Figure 2.1 Total head (energy level) and Pressure head (hidraulic head)
Static head
Static head is the pressure a manometer would show
hstat = pstat / g mWc

Piezometric head
Piezometric head or hydraulic head is the level to wich the water surface
would rise if a riser pipe was connected to the pipe at the cross section
h= z + p/g mWc
h= z + hstat
