| We revert to “Vena–Contracta” later in the course. |
| Before we take–up the topic on flow measuring devices, which are related to the application of mechanical energy balance, we address kinetic energy correction factor: |
| Consider the flow of viscous fluid in a tube. The flow is under laminar conditions and the velocity profile is parabolic: |
