Relationship between Energy Equation and Bernoulli Equation

An examination of Eqns. 3.70 and 3.51 brings out the connection between the Energy equation and the Bernoulli equation. It is clear that two equations become one when losses that occur between (1) and (2) are ignored.

Bernoulli Equation can be used only when we are considering a frictionless flow along a streamline. Further it is required that the flow be incompressible without any addition of heat or shaft work.
