Head : (H)
The total energy of the fluid particles per unit weight is known as head.
Units:
The unit of head is meter.
Following are different types of head.
- Kinetic Head :
Kinetic energy per unit weight of the fluid is known as kinetic head.
K.H= v2/2g
- Potential Head :
Potential head is the potential energy per unit weight.
Potential head = z
- Pressure Head :
It is the pressure energy per unit weight.
Pressure head=p/γ
- Total Head :
The sum of all heads will be the total head.
T.H=v2/2g+ z + p/γ
What is energy head describe different types of energy head in fluid flow.
