Bernoulli's theorem : For streamline flow of a perfect liquid, the sum of pressure energy, potential energy and the kinetic energy per unit mass is constant throughout the flow. This can be expressed by the following equation :

P/ρ + gh + ½ v2 = Constant ....(1)

Alternative forms of the above equation are :

Multiplying (1) by ρ we get : P + ρgh + ½ ρv2 = Constant ......(2)

Dividing (1) by g we get : P/ρg + h + ½ (v2)/g= Constant ....(3)
