(γAv)1=(γAv)2
Where γ= specific weight of fluid (KN/m3),
A = cross-sectional area of pipe (m2),
v = velocity of fluid (m/s).
and because the specific weight of fluid is constant for the same fluid we used that
form
Q =AV
(Av)1=(Av)2
Bernoulli's equation is one of the highest useful equation for performing of hydraulic circuit
analysis.it allow us to size components like valve, pump.
If we divide the both side of equation by W because the amount of fluid is constant
Friction is the biggest element of losses in energy in fluid power system the losses of energy
because of the friction is transferred into heat which is transfer to the surrounding air. Result to
that cause loss in potential energy in the system and shows up as a losses in head or pressure.
The head losses consist of two main component
1) Pipes losses
2) Fitting losses
The head losses can be represent in equation called darcy’s equation

H L=f ( )( )
D 2g
Where f = friction factor (dimensionless),
L = length of pipe (m),
D = pipe inside diameter (m),
V= average fluid velocity (m/s),
G = acceleration of gravity (m/s2).
FRICTIONAL LOSSES IN LAMINAR FLOW
Darcy's equation is used to calculate head losses in pipes experiencing laminar flow
by notice that for laminar flow that the friction factor equals to constant 64 divided by
