ENERGY OF A FLOWING LIQUID

Flowing liquid has three types of energy;

Pressure Energy  If there is a pressure p on the surface area A of liquid and liquid covers a distance l, due to this , then
           pressure energy = pAl
pressure energy per unit volume = p

Kinetic energy  If mass m and volume V of a liquid is flowing with velocity v, then

kinetic energy per unit volume = dV2/2
where, d = density of liquid

Potential energy  If mass m of liquid is at a height h above the earth's surface, then potential energy is
                          = mgh
