Fluid Mechanics
The hydraulic grade line (HGL) is a line that represents the total energy head available to the fluid at any point in a hydraulic system, excluding the velocity head. It is an important concept in understanding flow behavior, as it reflects the pressure head plus the elevation head, helping to visualize where fluid pressure may drop below atmospheric levels, leading to potential cavitation or flow issues.
congrats on reading the definition of Hydraulic Grade Line. now let's actually learn it.
