Fluids in a hydronic system contain both thermal and mechanical energy.The mechanical energy, or ____, present in a fluid depends on several factors including its pressure, density, elevation, and velocity at some point in the system.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mechanical energy present in a fluid is represented by its head, which takes into account the factors of pressure, density, elevation, and velocity at a particular point in the system. The head can be measured in units such as feet or meters, and is a key factor in determining the pump requirements for a hydronic system.
