Question

What is flow energy? Do fluids at rest possess any flow energy?

Answer 1

Answer:

Flow energy is defined as, flow energy is the energy needed to push fluids into control volume and it is the amount of work done required to push the entire fluid. It is also known as flow work. Flow energy is not the fundamental quantities like potential and kinetic energy.

Fluid at state of rest do not possess any flow energy. It is mostly converted into internal energy as, rising in the fluid temperature.
