    According to the Bernoulli's theorem, the total energy at any point of the fluid is always constant in a ideal and steady flow of an incompressible fluid.

    ∴ Total energy = constant

    ∴ Pressure energy + Kinetic energy + Potential energy = constant

    (P / (ρ g)) + (V2 / 2g) + Z = constant

    For application of Bernoulli's theorem, the fluid is assumed to be ideal, steady, incompressible and one-dimensional. The gravitational force and pressure force are only considered in Bernoulli's theorem.
