1. Continuous flow in a fixed channel
Whatever the phenomenon and the complexity of its mechanical, thermal or other aspects, the laws of mechanics are applicable in a permanent flow. The only condition is that this phenomenon takes place in a Galilean frame of reference, as is the case for the fixed components of machines.
1.1 Current tube study
Inside a fixed channel subject to steady flow, each fluid element of mass Δm travels along a flow tube shown in figure 1 .

1. Centrifugal pumps
Consider a pump impeller feeding directly into a volute casing. In order to neglect three-dimensional effects, the flow is assumed to be plane, i.e. the thickness of the flow in figure 1...
