Basic Hydraulics: Energy
and Momentum concepts
Energy of flow
• Three kinds of energy gradients cause flow
• Elevation (called potential energy)
• Pressure (another kind of potential)
• Kinetic (related to how fast water is moving)

p2, v2

Pressure
• Pressure at point = p = g h
• For US customary units, g = 62.4 lb/ft3
• Example:
• At point 1, p1 = g h1
• At bottom of tank, pbottom = g hbottom
hbottom
• Pressure energy = h

Potential and Kinetic Energy
• Potential energy is the sum of the elevation head
and the pressure head
• Sometimes called the static head
• Kinetic energy is the energy of motion
• Proportional to the square of the mean section
velocity
• The sum of potential and kinetic energy is the total
energy (head).
Total energy
• Express energy in consistent units.
• Elevation (h) has units of ft.
• Pressure has units of lb/ft2. If we divide p by g (62.4
lb/ft3), we get units of L for the pressure term.
• Velocity has units of ft/sec. Energy related
(velocity)2. Measure of velocity energy consistent
with other energy units is v2/2g where g =
gravitational acceleration.
• These energy terms referred to as “head”.
• Total energy (head) = h + p/g + v2/2g
Bernoulli Equation
• If friction losses are neglected and no energy is added to,
or taken from a piping system, the total head, H, which
is the sum of the elevation head, the pressure head and
the velocity head will be constant for any point on a fluid
streamline.
• This expression head conservation of head in a conduit
or streamtube is known as the Bernoulli equation:

Energy losses
• Due to
• Boundary resistance (friction losses)
• Effects of changes in flow geometry (local losses)
• Local losses often expressed as hL = K v2/2g in
which K = the head loss coefficient
• Friction losses commonly computed using empirical
equation, such as Manning’s equation, Chezy
equation, Darcy-Weisbach equation or HazenWilliams (water only!)
Energy Equation
• If friction losses are included, the equation is called the
energy equation

is

uncommon
for
transportation infrastructure, but the other two (pumps
and friction) are common
Momentum Concept
• Momentum is defined as mass of object multiplied by
velocity of object
• Dealing with momentum is more difficult than dealing
with mass and energy because momentum is vector
quantity, having both magnitude and direction.
Momentum Concept
• Show momentum as 3 component equations
Momentum Concept
