3. Internal Incompressible Viscous Flow

4. Turbulent flows Fluid particles rapidly mix as they move along due to random three-dimensional velocity fluctuations. Semi-empirical theories in conjunction with experimental data are the common approach for a turbulent flow. Computational solutions are also available through the use of some empirical parameters, however. http://www.google.com/images

13. Thermal energy converted from the mechanical energy from 1 to 2 Mechanical energies, pressure, kinetic, and potential energies.

14. Head losses

15. Calculation of Head Losses/Major Losses The mechanical energy loss is primarily due to the friction along a pipe and may be divided into two parts: Frictional loss along a straight,constant-flow-area pipe and frictional loss due to the change of flow area or path. The first part is called Major Loss and may be evaluated in terms of a horizontal pipe without the effect of elevation. The second part is called Minor Loss and will be discussed later.
