Question
What is the hydraulic grade line? How does it differ from the energy grade line? Under what conditions do both lines coincide with the free surface of a liquid?
Solution
VerifiedHydraulic grade line(HGL) : the line which represents the sum of the static pressure and the elevation heads ().
Energy grade line(EGL): the line that represents the total head of the fluid ().
The difference between the heights of EGL and HGL is the dynamic head () We note the following about the HGL and EGL.
When the velocity is zero and the static pressure is zero the energy grade line(EGL) coincides with the hydraulic grade line(HGL).
