V(s(t),t) generally, however if flow is steady then V(s). For steady flow:
Note that
1) This is true along a streamline
2) This is true for a steady flow
3) This is true for an inviscid fluid

Static, stagnation, dynamic and total pressure:
Pitot tubes have two concentric tubes: The outer one has small holes so it measures the static
pressure. Neglecting the elevation difference between pts 1, 3 & 4:
Contraction Coefficient:
Mass flowrate:
Volume flowrate:
Conservation of mass:
By measuring pressures,
the flowrate Q can be
