Question: ( a ) Does Bernoulli's equation account for losses in fluid flow? ( 1 mark ) ( b ) What are the forms of energy

(a) Does Bernoulli's equation account for losses in fluid flow? (1 mark)
(b) What are the forms of energy that are accounted for in Bernoulli's equation? (\(\mathbf{3}\) marks)
(c) A venturi flow meter as illustrated below is being used to determine the flow rate flowing through a pipe section. Water with a density of \(\rho_{\mathrm{w}}=1000\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{m}^{3}\) is flowing through the pipe and the specific gravity of the manometer fluid (mercury) is \(\mathrm{SG}_{\mathrm{m}}=13.54\)
(i) Using the manometer, determine the pressure difference between the points A and B (5 marks)
(ii) Calculate the velocity of the water in the 200 mm section of the pipe assuming there are no losses (7 marks)
(iii) What is the volumetric flow rate in \(\mathrm{m}^{3}/\mathrm{s}\)?(2 marks)
(iv) What is the mass flow rate in \(\mathrm{kg}/\mathrm{s}\)?(2 marks)
( a ) Does Bernoulli's equation account for
