Bernoulli's theorem

Bernoulli's theorem

In an inviscid fluid in steady motion, v²/2 + p/D + gz = constant, where v is the rate of flow, p the pressure, D the density, z the depth and g the acceleration of gravity. It is equivalent to saying that the sum of the per mass kinetic energy plus the external pressure plus the gravitational pressure is constant everywhere in the fluid.
