Derivation of Bernoulli Equation

This document derives the Bernoulli equation from the equation of motion for fluid flow. It starts with the substantial time derivative form of the equation of motion and makes substitutions to remove time derivatives and viscous terms, resulting in an expression involving pressure, elevation, and velocity. Taking the dot product of this expression with the unit flow direction vector yields the Bernoulli equation, which equates the total pressure, kinetic energy, and potential energy between two points in a fluid flow system.
