In this chapter Newton’s second law of motion is used to derive Euler’s equation for the flow of an inviscid fluid along a streamline. For a fluid of constant density ρ‎ Euler’s equation can be integrated to yield Bernoulli’s equation: p + ρ‎gz′ + ρ‎V2 = pT which shows that the sum of the static pressure p, the hydrostatic pressure ρ‎gz and the dynamic pressure ρ‎V2/2 is equal to the total pressure pT. The combination p + ρ‎V2/2 is an important quantity known as the stagnation pressure. Each of the terms on the left-hand side of Bernoulli’s equation can be regarded as representing different forms of mechanical energy and also equivalent to the hydrostatic pressure due to a vertical column of liquid. The dynamic pressure can be thought of as measuring the intensity or strength of a flow and is frequently combined with other fluid and flow properties to produce non-dimensional (or dimensionless) numbers which characterise various aspects of fluid motion.

This paper explains why Euler's equation and the airfoil theory, while analytically correct, sometimes produce disappointing results. It also emphasizes the merits of a recently developed approach and demonstrates its usefulness in solving problems encountered in practice. The subject matter relates, directly, only to rotodynamic pumps. However, with proper modifications, it can be easily expanded to other fluids machines.

This study indicates that the aerofoil theory of an impeller blade is not interchangeable with Euler's equation. Instead, these two approaches are supplementary to each other. The conclusion is well supported by observations from practice.
