Why is Kinetic energy neglected in steady flow energy equation of a turbine or compressor?
That's interesting. How does this relate to the Bernoulli's equation?
Bernoulli's equation is a fundamental law of fluid mechanics that relates the pressure, velocity, and elevation of a fluid in motion. It is based on the assumption that the fluid is incompressible and that there are no external forces acting on it. In the context of a turbine or compressor, Bernoulli's equation can be used to calculate the changes in pressure and velocity that occur as the fluid flows through the device. This information can then be used to determine the amount of work that is done on the fluid, and the resulting power output of the turbine or compressor.
