Question

Discuss the different types of energies possessed by a flowing liquid

Answer 1

★ Types of energies possessed by a liquid:-

→ A liquid in motion is having three energies are as follows:-

• Potential energy

• Kinetic energy

• Pressure energy

→ The energy possessed by a liquid by virtue of its position is called potential energy.

→ Expression for potential energy per unit volume is equal to pgh

→ The energy possessed by a liquid by virtue of its motion is called kinetic energy.

→ Expression for kinetic energy per unit volume is equal to ½PV²

→ The energy possessed by a liquid by virtue of its pressure is called pressure energy.

→ Expression for pressure energy per unit volume is P.
