In the case of flow through a pipe, no outside work is performed so that dW = 0. Furthermore,
' :J du + pdv = JT da = J dq + JTds' '

where
da = total change in entropy.
da' = change in entropy due to internal irreversibility from turbulence and
friction.

pipe diameter were the same, throughout, the velocity, and consequently
the velocity head, would be the same at both points,, but the higher
elevation at point 2 would still be responsible for. a - loss in pressure.
The utility of the equation is evident, though it should be remembered
that in it the effects of friction and turbulence are neglected, and that Fig. 1
represents ideal'conditions. It should also be noted that care niust: be
taken in determining the proper mean density. Accordingly, the Bernoulli
equation is applied most conveniently to incompressible fluids for which

This is commonly called the Bernoulli equation, named after the Swiss

T> known as the velocity head, - is the pressure head, and z is the elevation
p head, all in feet of the fluid; the total head, h% is the sum of the other three heads. Fig. 1 shows (Ungrammatically the relation of the various factors. The pressure at point 2 is lower than at point 1 because of the elevation of point 2 over point 1, and the velocity at point 2 is lower
than at point 1 because of the larger pipe diameter at point 2. If the

Pressure Loss in Circular Pipes
The pressure loss in circular pipes is customarily expressed by the
formula:
'
flV hi
2g d
(8)
where
hi = the loss in head of the fluid under conditions of flow, in feet. 1 = the length of the pipe, in feet. V = the velocity, in feet per second. g = the acceleration due to gravity = 32.174 ft per (second) (second).. d = the internal diameter of the pipe, in feet. / = a dimensionless friction coefficient.
The formula is generally known by the name of Darcy or Fanning, though it seems to have been originated by d'Aubisson de Voisins in -1834.
The factor / is a function of the Reynolds number,
