In this form, each term has the dimensions ot~length. The terms z, Pl(pg)
and v2/(2g) are known as the potential, pressure and velocity heads,
respectively. Denoting the work terms as heads, equation 1.12 can also be
written as

For the conditions specified, ul=uz, and a has the same value because the
flow is fully developed. The terms in equation 1.15 are shown schematical:
ly in Figure 1.5. The total energy E2 is less than Et by the frictional losses
hr. The velocity head remains constant as indicated and the potential head
increases owing to the increase in elevation. As a result the pressure
energy, and therefore the pressure, must decrease. It is important to note
that this upward flow occurs because the upstream pressure P] is
sufficiently high (compare the two pressure heads in Figure 1.5). This
high pressure would normally be provided by a pump upstream of the
section considered; however, as the pump is not in the section there must
be no pump head term Ah in the equation. The effect of the pump is
already manifest in the high pressure P~ that it has generated.
