Bernoulli's Equation with Horizontal Flow

Assumptions

(1) Incompressible fluid

(2)  h1 = h2

Bernoulli's Equation

P1  + rgh2 + 1/2rmv22 = P2 + rgh1 + 1/2rmv1        Drop subscripts on density because of incompresible fluid assumption

P1 + rgh2 -  rgh1 1/2rmv22 = P2  + 1/2rmv12    

P1 + rg(h2 -  h1) + 1/2rmv22 = P2  + 1/2rmv12   

P1 + 1/2rmv22 = P2  + 1/2rmv12              Since the heights are equal according to the assumption
