Hi,
Energy Line
Energy line represents the the sum of the Pressure Head, velocity and elevation Head corresponding to an assumed datum.
If there are no losses in a system, Energy head remains constant.
Hydraulic Grade Line
Hydraulic Grade line represents the Energy head subtracted by the velocity head. In other words it represents the sum of the pressure head and the elevation head along a system of fluid flow.
Example: If an Venturimeter is attached to a pipe connected to a vessel at the bottom, the Hydraulic grade changes significantly. See the image below, calculations are also given.

Note: EL = Energy Line = h ; and HGL = hydraulic Grade Line becomes negative at the throat of the venturimeter. |
