The maximum velocity is the highest speed that the fluid can attain at a given point. The total enthalpy is the sum of the internal energy, the pressure-volume product, and the kinetic energy of the fluid. The formula is derived from the conservation of energy principle, which states that the energy of a system remains constant and can only be converted from one form to another. The formula can be used to analyze the flow of fluids in pipes, nozzles, turbines, and other devices .Â
- Maximum velocity (Vmax) in m/s
- Total enthalpy (h0) in J/kg
